Exclamation Please search.....

Just look around the forum, you'll find HUNDREDS of posts about drag races, times, speeds and results.

...you could start with the "sticky" at the top of THIS forum - the one titled "14.58@94.55mph"....doesn't that mean ANYTHING to you?

Not stock......

So you want results from modified Renesis engines?

Here's one -

"The most interesting piece of this puzzle, is the use of a new Mazda Renesis-based, normally aspirated, 3-rotor engine. The racing Renesis will use peripheral-port induction, a change from the production Renesis engine's side-port induction. This is a key point as all successful rotary racing power plants of the past have used peripheral port induction. Few specifications were mentioned other than the engine will rev to a maximum of 9000 rpm..."

...but not really a drag car.

I saw a Rx8 style Funny Car at Moroso Speed way in West Palm Beach. It was running a 3 rotor and a BAT (Big *** turbo).

13.1: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...45&q=rx8+turbo

there's one floating around with a heavily modified rx-8 chassis that does the quarter mile at 6.8 sec, 200+ mph.

I ran the 1/4 in 14.3 with the greddy untuned turbo kit. Thats with 20s, and my speakerbox mounted, and with the crappiest launches ever. If I had the stock wheels on with a good launch I could have broke into the 13s easy.

You will find me catching that 0.01s eaaarly next year Brettus! Right now im focused on my Rotrex turbo/compressor kit to be done over the winter, then my 0-60 mph time surely will dip under 5seconds!! Happy Christmas and a New Year!
