Like I mentioned earlier, the RX7 was a halo car when it came out. This car isn't. There will be a bigger performance gap to make up. Think of it's concept namesake, the AE86. You have to throw a lot more time and money at a used Hachi-Roku to make it GT-R fast, than at a used JZA80 Supra twin-turbo.
Also don't forget the driving skill too. Like this vid, 200 & 165 AE86 vs 280 R34... I say, it's the driving skill makes the difference in the track. lol
