At the risk of sounding like a troll (this is my first post here afterall), that is a pretty baseless comment. It's pretty obvious to me that you have no idea what a 2002 Camaro SS runs in the 1/4 mile. Based on information I"ve gathered from "official" sources (r&t, motor trend, c&d), the rx-7 turns in a 1/4 mile time of 14.0 bone stock; 2002 Camaro SS does the 1/4 in 13.2. I have personally taken my '02 SS A4 to 12.99 with Nitto Drag Radials cutting a 2.0 60'.

From what I can gather from various rx-7 forums, most are cutting 13.6-13.9 in stock trim with sticky tires.

The example you have given does not prove your argument.
