well here is the story i was coming home from work at about 3 in the morning and i noticed a 240 was cruising down the interstate and he was next to a saturn ion. so i decided to get behind the ion and then i heard a roar from the 240 and noticed no exhaust so i knew instantly who was going to get killed in this race. well then the ion noticed i was riding his ass and reving my engine(the ricer thing) and the 240 noticed too. so we take off goin 80 and the 240 is struggling and by the time we get to 115mph the 240 drops out (hit speed limiter) so its me and the ion im drafting him up to about 120-125 and the i decided to go for it so i swing out next to him and fly by the ion and i looked at him and waved as he is gettin passed. I know he wasn't slowing down beacause you can tell when someone is slowing down in your mirror. I knew he was still on the gas so i decided to give my car a little more and when i looked down at my Speedometer i was goin 137 mph and the ion slowly gettin smaller and smaller and in the end it was all worth it. the dumb part was i was out on the interstate so if i blew a tire i would have beed screwed. so now i only go out on tracks unless i see a honda. hhhmmm mmm eatin civics and shittin accords https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

137?



thats like the higest you could take a stock n/a. i never raced anyone past 125 or so.

yup 137 and im bone stock. i read my car can go that fast but actually didnt think it could well i was wrong https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

that's the coolest thing i ever heard

I just bought my 88 fc3s and i have only had it at 125mph in fourth gear i havent tried to go any faster on the stock motor and suspension set up

i cant wait to put mods on it i just joind an rx7 club here in indiana and when i buy the stuff for my car i take to all of the member of the club im in and they put it on for free. next summer is when i start with the project and i'll deffinately be going over 140. but when im out on a road course i most likely wont get up to that fast.

when i was in fifth i was cruising at 137 at around 5000 rpm's and when i redline i go up to 7500 rpm's

I took a stock FD to 162mph. Scary

[/sarcasm]

what is the difference in the engine between a fc and fd i cant seem to figure that out
