yeah ummm what's wrong with that? it probably only has minor bolt-ons, and it's running a 10sec 1/4 mile.....and lets face it, with the potential of that motor low 9's wouldn't be a problems with the right mods, and guess what....it n/a.

Damn guys, don't sound like ricers and blindly cling to one brand because everyone cool likes it.



That is one FINE third gen. Gotta love hinson supercars . . . I've seen a vid of that thing tearing up a drag strip. That is far more exotic than any wankel powered FD. Should I show the dyno graphs again? and mid 10s is hardly the limit of that engine's potential . . talk about a beast in the making . . . imagine that thing with forced induction.

sure its fast, but whats the point really? why not just get a car with the same type of engine to start off with and go from there?

Because it's different and unique. Yes I hate to see a RX7 w/o a rotary, but hey, mods are part of hot rodding

Because the RX-7 chassis is better than a camaro or corvette chassis to some people (lighter), but the LS-1 aluminum block V8 is preferred over the twin turbo timebomb.

I'll be ok with it once Chevy stops using pushrods. There's nothing like stone age technology in a revolutionary car.

I just sold a 2000 Mustang GT lightly modded. Just bought a 2003 CooperS ans I am waiting for my SC upgrade to come in. I have owned a 67 and 68 Mustang a 300ZX a very tricked Ford Probe.



I have the right to not like that car. I dont give a **** how fast it is. In my opinion it is wrong. Exotic? Whats exotic about a covette powered RX-7?? Corvettes are like Mustangs in this town they are everywhere.



They ripped the soul out of that car.
