NoPistons -Mazda Rx7 & Rx8 Rotary Forum - Thumbs Up From A Late C5

I'm leaving the first ATL SCCA autoX event this season, just cruising on the interstate (GF following)...didn't have a great day (time wise), but got buck wild in my single 7 (and lots of compliments on my sleeper) and had a blast doing it!!

anyhew, this C5 rolls up from behind me, so I follow...just pacing, seeing if he's enjoying his sports car as much as I am. 5-8 miles later, we are conservatively passing all cars going into the city (gf still trying to follow at this point).

I hear him wind it up and cut lanes between cars...some-what a ballsy move. Then I decide to take him on. -Shift into 4th- and roll up two lanes to his right, look over with a **** eating grin on my face and give the head-nod...he signals back.

Not before long he's right in front of me and traffic clears up, at least 3 lanes wide out of around 5-6...I hear him wind up again, and I nail it at 4k in 4th. I start pulling on him hard and get another lane to the right and walk him pretty bad up to ~130mph or so...

I slow way down and he creeps up...looks over with a great big smile, pointing to my car, and mouthing, "That thing is BAD!!!" I smile and give another nod..."I was setting you up", haha!!

GF is lost behind, but talking with her later, she said she wasn't expecting that at all...10year old 7 embarrassing a newer vette, now she has respect for my hard work https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

Hope you enjoyed my V8 kill.

ps. I'm running full emission equipment too.
