UrQ vs FD RX-7

[David]

I'm considering selling my 1993 RX-7 R1 to finance a UrQ. I think I can get $8-9,000 for it without having to put anything other than a little cleaning time into it. Or $15k if I put a $2,000 paint job. But, I'll admit, I am addicted to the performance of the FD. So, with that in mind, for roughly $10,000, can I get an UrQ in decent shape and get it to perform anywhere near an FD? The FD with the R1 package weighs in at #2,800 and has 255hp & 217 lb.ft. of torque (11 pounds per horsepower) and does 0-60 in 4.9 and pulls 1.0g on the skidpad. So? Is it realistic? I'm hoping for a 1984+ but I REALLY want it to be Helios Metalic Blue...
