Just got word that Romeo from T and R Racing has made his first 9sec pass with his Rx7. 9.9@129MPH to be exact. This was done on No Nitrous, just boost with an entirely new setup. Keep in mind this is a daily driven Rx7, drives to and from the shop and all over NYC on race nights not a car that has to be on a trailer.



Romeo swapped out the Haltech this year for the new Wolf and has been very satisfied. The car is not at its full potential since he is having some boost issues. The 129MPH trap speed is much lower than the car is used to.



Anyway, he has been trying to do this for some time and he finally did it! Thought I would share!



BTW Vosko...Where's the 9sec club?



Videos to follow....

Yep, that's the new paintjob. The website http://www.rx7s.com has not been updated with the new pics yet but will be shortly.



The car was white, now is that darker red color, sort of like candy apple red.



Thanks!
