Just womdering... What car would be a lot quicker? I already know that the Nissan 300zx has V6 twin turbo an personally I believe they look a lot better then a rx7 but which car is more durable and a lot quicker?? And what's with the Mazda Wankel engine? Please answer everything you know about both cars

300ZX has a great engine if you take care of it, but it doesn't corner that great and the brakes suck.
I have a 3rd gen RX-7 and wouldn't trade it for any other Japanese car except maybe a new Nissan GTR. To each his own about the looks, I think the Mazda is aging much better than the Nissan, but this IS a Mazda club.

With a proper tune, the FD (RX-7) will take the 300zx's lunch money everytime, especially if it's on a road course. In a straight line, if the Nissan is modded and the Mazda is stock, the 300ZX MIGHT make it to the next red light quicker...unless it catches fire like a lot of them did because of the sketchy, overly complicated fuel system.
The Nissan is over 500lbs heavier as well. Both cars have the same HP. 220 was the limit on Japanese road cars in the late 80's /early 90's.
