Bottups up guys!

Especially since I see 10 second cars everyhere I go, they are all over the place at open track days and you should see all of them at the Autocrosses.
Oh yeah and when I go to test and tune I never see a V-8 go slower than 10.90.
I think I'll get rid of my FC and buy a Firebird it must be faster because I saw vids fo them going fast.
All FC's and most FD's for that matter are slow. Forget about the FB's I have never seen a fast one of them either.

Nope just tired of people knocking the car.
I am heading out to a Driving School again in 2 weeks. I will be driving my TII this time. Say all you want about straight line acceleration. ANYONE can go fast in a straight line. To take turns in these cars is to love them. When I go to school in 2 weeks be assured people w/ high end cars will be scratching their heads wondering WTF is going on. When my $3500 blue book car is creaming their 60K "race cars"
I drove Mazdadrifters GXL Sunday after the driving school was over and we were taking fun runs. His GXL N/A was by and far the most fun to toss around there. I was drifitng it around all the turns or driving grip whichever I wanted to do. The car went where you wanted it to go. After driving my Mini a Z-06 and a sick modded Miata that FC was by far the beast handling car out there.
Keep goign in a straight line w/ you RX-7's - Your missing out on some of the best fun you'll ever have with them.
