Come on joe, don't just start posting smack man, I never said I beat you, I was saying, is that I think we went longer than a 1/4. Now you have more mods, so I know I can't beat until I mod more as well. I think you should race turboed german pat. I like how your tails look, it's a nice car, and quick to boot.
yea a whole trd exhaust system and under glow. w00t. -
Yeah someone needs to race scherling... he yelled out his window sat night to drake saying SLOW then he sped off... we caught up to him and he turns off and wouldnt race. Then later that night he comes after me wanting to race me. Whats that pussy run anyway mid 14's?
Peace!

93 RX-7... not sure on the year. Riced out body kit and some gunmetal rims I think. From what I have heard he only has a cat-back because he wants to keep his warranty, and he has gone through a couple of motors already. Stupid people shouldnt drive rotary cars.
Peace!

Dont mistake this comment for an individual actually defending the idiot... but from what i have read rx-7 motors are poopy to begin with.
-
Shcerlings car is overrated super car,its not fast and wont be fast because he's so scared of voiding his warranty. Obviously e knows its a POS by saying he wont mod it cuz he knows it'll break and he wont have warranty.
PS. i spanked him from a roll and a stop 2 years ago in a miata running low 14's, what a supercar!!!!
-
still a phat looking car
-
Smoked him from a roll with nothing but an MBC.
WRX with 30% drivetrain loss (AWD)
Vs Rotary motor (RWD)....from a roll.....
PATHETIC!

i agree and disagree with you on this. the 3rd gen rx7 has a lot of potential, with the right driver. as with any car, the driver can make all the difference, so it's not to unexpected that an average joe in a car with such a huge power band (such as the rx7) would lose to a car that the same driver might hit 15s with.
it's like when i first started driving my dsm, i lost to an old escort gt because i didn't understand the concept of downshifting (man, i was STUPID back then).
anyway, i'm done mumbling for now -

You forgot joes headers also kirk.
That rx7 comes with 280hp right? He should own this area with driving skill and a few mods. Shit, if he is that bad, I could keep up lol.
No I do not have a smoke or whatever plate frame. That's the beauty of my shiftronic, unlike most autos, I can be in 1st doing 25-30 at high rpms. Downshifting is fun...

Kirk did say a WHOLE trd exhaust....and 280rwhp would not own this area, not even freakin close. The hp rating doesnt mean a whole lot when you put it into perspective. Dave's 600(last i was infromed anyways) or so hp supra does better then most 1000hp supras. I would not be afraid to say I move somewhere in the vicinity of 380hp and I am no where close to "owning this area."
edit: I overlooked the part about mods...but the HP statement still applies. I have not read about many 11 sec rx-7s...which is what it would take (at minimum) to "own this area."

I do agree the car is very over rated. Hell they like to blow up often. I personally dont care for the RX-7 or 8 for that matter. Miatas are nice but from what I was told his was barely modified and smoked him pretty good. I wouldnt race him for money unless I had some mods which at the current point in time im un-modified. And even when im modified he probably wouldnt do it anyway.
Peace!

a 3rd gen rx-7 comes with around 255 hp stock i believe. rx-8 is somewhere around 235 or so. id much rather take an rx-7 over an 8, but id much much rather have my talon than the rx-7.
i pulled up next to that kid at the light on the intersection of 25th and 17th. we made eye contact and went for it. i really hope that he wasnt actually racing.. 'cause i COMPLETELY owned him. i was at least 2 car lengths ahead of him by the time i hit 70.
i know the people who own a shop where he gets his car fixed. everyone that works there says its a POS. nothing special at all.

while i agree that i would take my dsm over an rx7 (until i get bored of it), the rx7 is still nothing to ignore. with a good driver and good setup (motor, suspension and tires), the rx7 can launch much better than a lot of cars out there.
to give you an idea of just how bad ass an rx7 can be... http://www.magnusmotorsports.com/videos/[email protected] -
rx-7s are definitely badass... just not so much in the hands of people who dont know anything about them. from what ive heard, a rotary is a lot different to drive and if you dont know what youre doing, you can easily cause a lot of damage to it. personally ive never driven one, but id love to take one out for a day...
i assume that was an awd talon that got owned off the line in the vid?

One of my good friends from Minot has a 94 tt rx7 that doesn't run as of now. But it was running 13.1s in Rock Falls 2 years ago on bald street tires, and 60fts that were around the 2.3 - 2.4 range due to lack of traction. That same car on a prepped track in Minot was cutting 1.8s on the same tires.
We blew it up last year with a single turbo conversion, however it's hopefully going to be alive sometime when he gets off his ass. (Built motor waiting, single turbo still, just needs an IC and a clutch, and his trans finished). In the hands of the right people w/ the right parts they are amazing cars.
There is a pic of his turbo. Next biggest one is Troy's old Frank 4 from turbochargers.com, and the smallest one was a "puppy" from DSM performance.
