RX-3 was the Japanese A-body muscle car with that hot motor and a small chassis. They are big out here as well as 510's and even old notchback Celica GT's.
I picked the RX-3 over the RX-2 because of the styling and the fact it had leaf springs like a Mopar. I bought new Keystone Klassic wheels from Summit in 1974 (13x5.5) and ran it at the strip. I ran against a built up Pinto. I was worried because his crew was pushing him through the staging lanes and he had an open header. No problem, my 17.19 @83 beat him. One time i was driving down to Akron snd some guy picked a race with me and I got it up to 115. Red line was 7000 but accidentally hit 8000 more than once. Used to watch them race at Mid-Ohio and they dominated. Haven't seen one for a loooong time.
