not to be vulgar but... Holy f**king s**t!!! Now that something I hadn't thought of- A Grand National motor in an RX7 !! If I could afford one, that would be in my car! You may **** off a few GN enthusiasts but what the hell? I've always thought GN's were one of the ugliest monstrosities on earth(exaggerating) but I've always had respect for the powerplant.



HMMMMMM (wringing my hands with an evil look in my eyes) wonder where I could find one of those?

well watch some of that laungauge but you or the langauge filter kind of editted anyway so its fine I suppose... yeah the powerplants are pretty nice but I would be going for something a bit more refined. But you know it makes for a killer power combo.....

No need to censor yourself. Imagine, 11 sec quarter miles on a relatively stock engine. That would be great. I bet the GN engine would weigh the car down a lot though.

Well it is an old V6 block but it probably weighs a bit less than a V8... but I am sure to the power makes up for it!

Here is a link to the article.They are expecting to be running 5 sec. quarter miles with that beast. I wonder if I can shoehorn that into my 7.

Honestly, that is just sick. I've seen that guy moran run at the orlando dragstrip before with an all-motor camaro and he was tearing **** up. Now with four freaking turbos! I need a way to start making better income.





I may never be the same again... Four... jesus, FOUR!
