Funny, they have enough money to swap **** into an FD, but not enough to DYNO it instead of estimateing their power at 375. People should be shot, this just makes me angry.

I stopped watching it as soon as I saw it had a V8.

That's just a waste of money.

No way is it a 6 second quarter mile.



It's a beast of a car, but it has lost it's heart and soul.

I think that's an 1/8 mile track, I seriously doubt he's running in the 6's with that POS.

ahhh yes.. that would make sense.. seems like an insane amount of work for the finished product.. i don' t know... when you hear that car, your lookin around for a vette or camaro.. I don't like it...

I know this car had tons more money put into it.. but overall i think is much better of an "investment" (like a car is a good investment) than the ls1 rx-7... And its a much cooler concept...

Oh no! A fast RX-7 that won't break all of the time! Crap! It lost it's gimpy heart and soul! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm going to go cry now because some guy changed the engine in his car without asking me...aww, geez.



I wonder if the crybaby part of loving RX-7s comes from the shell or the engine. I'll have to meet more V8 RX-7 people and see if they whine about everything like you guys do.

Looks like it was done well. And i think its cool that the dude autox's it.



Its just odd to see rx-7 and hear v8.

I agree with ya there. I saw a 327 in an FC and my mind wouldn't let the sound match up with the look.

Not having a girly purple car anymore have your nuts in a bind? This isn't a OMG there's a V8 in an RX-7 thread. I really wanted your opinion as to whether swapping a 375HP V8 in to an RX-7 equates to building a "supercar". I say no. Go paint your UniqueN/A pink or something, maybe that will calm you down.
