<< So, what do we see here?
 We see the lighter car with alot less power and a hell of alot less 
 torque outperform the 3000 GT in every single aspect of performance.  
 EVERY ONE.
 
 Lets also notice the handling.  The 3000 GT had 18 inch wheels while the 
 RX7 has 16.  That shows just how far ahead the RX7 is.
 
 Come on, i think that speaks for itself....

Well, Mike, interesting to note that the comparo has already been done for
you, with more apples than your presentation of oranges.  Supra tt, RX7tt,
Mitsu 3kgtVR4 and corvette.  Supra #1, RX7 #2, Mitsu #3, and corvette #4.  You
might also want to read both the subjective and objective numbers in that
article.  The RX7 on the track was a 'nose' ahead of the Mitsu, not miles,
with that 1500lb advantage.  That shows "how far ahead the RX7 was," also
speaks for itself, with all due respect to your interesting choice of apples.
