Well 2G GSX with stock turbos usually max out at high 13s at 99ish MPH. There are a few RX-7s that have ran mid 13s stock (more typical are low 14s) but in general they aren't as fast as their 0-60 time suggest. In other words they are a rocket off the line but in the 1/4 mile they are slower that a 3000GT VR4, Supra TT, 300ZX TT, NSX you get the picture). Luckily for you the one thing it does well so do you. Unfortunely all that AWD weight means your top end aint great either and he will KILL you with equal mods and that light weight. The good news is he wont have any money for mods after maintenence and vacuum problems (and he'll likely never know how fast his car is suppose to be if he doesn't have all the flimsy rubber vacuum hoses checked first). With a stock turbo this is the usual round of mods before upgrading the turbo and intercooler in this order 1.air filter 2. catback 3.upper intercooler pipe and BOV 4. downpipe and cat 5.boost gauge, boost controller and fuel pump. The upgraded intercooler piping takes care of the free mods (porting can wait for the upgrade turbo). With that you can run UP TO high 13s (like 13.8 or 13.9s). At this point GSTs are slightly faster because the wt advantage out weighs the AWD traction (no pun intended). From there all you need is a 16G to run 12s. An upgraded intercooler and clutch would be nice at this point.
