Stage 4 drift
Mazda RX-7 in Underground 2
Fandom calls the FD the drift car. I do not turn that into a universal ranking.
Unlock and published figures
The NFS Fandom article for the Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) says the unlock is: Complete URL Race 10 in Stage 4. I use that sentence as the obtain line. The car article does not print an in-game price, so I leave that cell empty. Stock numbers on the same article: 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, top speed 155.0 mph, 255.7 bhp, 215.9 lb-ft. The upgraded row reads 3.12 seconds, 213.0 mph and 441.6 bhp. Drivetrain RWD. The article ties the model to a 1995 1.3 L twin-turbo rotary (13B-REW) 2-door coupe. Region on the roster: All regions. Stage label: 4.
How I use this article
For the Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) the model article supplies the numerical specification; the roster supplies availability. Both belong to NFS Fandom and count as one publisher source. The job I will defend is Drift / handling. A different car's article does not get to overwrite that.
The engine line is a 1.3 liter 13B-REW. Upgraded 0-60 on the article is 3.12 seconds. Shift points for drag live on the drag guide. This page does not invent a dyno chart.
RX-7 use differs from the RX-8
The RX-7 and RX-8 are separate Mazda entries with different career unlocks and specification rows. This page concerns the RX-7, so an RX-8 drag setup should not be copied across merely because both use rotary-engine branding. The rear-wheel-drive RX-7 is commonly discussed for drag and drift, but the public specifications do not establish one optimal gear ratio for both disciplines. The unlock line is the reliable starting point for a player who cannot yet buy it. Once available, compare the races still outstanding rather than treating a late unlock as proof of superiority. The stock and upgraded figures above come from the model article, and any claimed tuned result needs its own setup description.
