I can tell you the 1981 RX7, it was 105HP, 100 FP torque. It was a 12A.

I would imagine the 84 was close to this. When did the GSL-SE come out? Didn't that have the 13B engine?

ahahahaha... what a car... the RX-8 has come by leaps and bounds.

if memory serves correct...

2600lb.
110hp, 90ish lb.ft on the 12A

but for the post-1988 RX-7's, i know by heart.

about 2800lb.
160hp, 130ish lbft. (as you can tell, i've never been one to focus on peak torque numbers

)

The specs on the early RX-7s are readily available at Beyond the Redline, a hosted site at teamf3cs.org. As for other cars, the free CarTest program has stats for a lot of older vehicles.
