Actually you would be suprised. Such a small engine has low torque numbers but with even the very biggest turbo you will be almost lag free as the wankel spools up the turbo quicker than any other type of engine. I had a Supra before which was a lovely car but cumbersome and slow in corners in comparison. I would tell everyone to try one as they are so unique. Mine sounds like a fly by from a Spitfire and could likely pull over 1g of lateral force as i have greatly modified the suspension but even in standard Type R form its bloody stif. There are very few cars that will make you smile like the RX7 but you wont like it if you are a couple of inches over 6ft. I am bang on and a big lad and its tight and i changed the seats several times to get the best position. In the end i had to set the seat rails back an inch(ish).
Its likely to be the best time to get one as i can imagine they are not the most desirable car with petrol prices as they have been so i think you could find a cheap minty one!!
