Let me clarify: the STOCK Mustang being way, way behind the RX-7. They can be modified to hang with Mazdas without much trouble, but stock, the Mazda will put the 'Stang into the weeds.

before anyone starts an ill-informed blather, YES, a '94 RX-7 would beat a 5.0 Mustang in the quarter mile. If they were both stock.

Well, the Rx7 isn't stock. And I dunno about the Mustang. On the guy's site, he said he and this car were duking it out for a while.

Once again no rear wing on the RX7 and how much better does it look.

look at that body roll on that thing! all his mods must have been engine mods! I've 69 Camaros that had less body rool than this!

No, the RX-7 is modified. He may not have done any suspension mods....or maybe he's just taking the corner REALLY fast.

that's not a whole lot of body roll, if he's doing about 90 or 100 mph.

I've taken Pics of ferraris doing high speeds around curves and the cars turned out a lot more blurry than this.... but then again they probably have a GOOD Camera instead of my Kodak loaner LOL

maybe those 2 cars can hang together on the 1/4 mile and in the repair shop cause of their dually horrible build qualities but on the twisties the fd3s will whoop the mustang

It's pretty much a given that a stock 5.0 Mustang won't handle that well. They're nose-heavy and the live axle rear jacks up the handling.
Do keep in mind, though, that the 5.0 is still cheaper (due to its age) than an FD RX7. For a trivial amount of money, it can be made substantially faster in the quarter-mile (due to huge aftermarket), and it is also a relatively simple exercise to track down upgraded suspension parts. Probably won't get it outhandling the RX, but improvements can be made.
As for build quality, I don't know about the reliability issue, but older Fords are pretty cheap to repair, in my experience.

#15 yep they are cheap to fix i was just saying they arent very reliable and as for the rotary there parts are 3 times more then any other import car manufacturer and it has worse gas mileage then the 5.0litre

5.0L fox bodies can be made to handle very well... Kenny Brown suspension systems can make these into fine track cars... plus the advantage of torgue... the 5.0L engine is a proven engine that has won many races...since the 60s... 289 powered the GT40s, 302 powered the TransAm cars of the 60s and 70s...

sure - stock vs stock... but they are different cars made for different purposes... apples and oranges.
Ford Mustang is a blue collar working man's car - made for street action. Miata is probably a bit more refined and specialized - not to mention a little more balanced weight wise...
both have alot of potential for auto-x-ing... mustang should not be discounted because of the live axle -
