I found a ride for Evansville! Thanks Steve!
Steve mentioned the weight difference is about 50 pounds.
I've done a little comparison myself (we were curious) and here is
what I found out....
My car: 1993 RX-7 Touring with Bose Acoustic Wave
System, sunroof, leather, cruise. You name it, it's in there.
Comparo car: Andy B's 1995 RX-7 R2. Extra oil cooler
and R goodies.
>From the scales at Devens (Ayer Tour)...
Weights:

Total: 2878 Total: 2813
729 719 700 709
746 680 730 676

We know that the RR is the difference between the "normal"
straight pipe and the Borla. (Borla go good.) We figure that
the LR difference is some stuff for the Bose. I believe the
wiring comes up on the left. After that, it's your guess.
Differences:
65
29 10
16 4
Now, that's as empirical as I get. Corner weights were taken
without driver. Both cars started the day with a full tank of gas, but
I imagine Andy's was down more than mine because he had 2 drivers
run before weighing, and I only had 1. Gas tank is more to
the left than the right.
Analyze and dissect at will. Weight wise, I think the touring can
be competitive. If it can at a National level.... I'll let you know in
a
few years. :)
