Oh the humanity!

I think it's sick that the RX-7 has more room underhood than the vast majority of Ford products that ever came with that engine in the first place

But do you like your color any less?

Forget stroker. 289 destroked to 2.75" to allow 5.7" rods. Killer heads. Nasty cam. Four 51 IDA's.

Something that will not only out-torque a rotary but also out-rev one as well

If y'all don't stop "bitching" about the stickers in every friggin' thread, I'm gonna "bitch" slap all y'all!

JK!

Seriously, I understand that many of you are worked up about this, but I would appreciate it if y'all could try to contain it in the threads (there's basically two of them) that are already discussing that.

Man, you guys tend to bitch at each other a lot...

You sound like a bunch of married couples

But yeah, that's definately not TBM... looks more silverish or something...

But anyways, yes the future has visions of a 347 stroker. Just not yet, maybe in a year.

Hey I drove Tim's 88 vert with a SBC 400 stroked, alumnimum intake and heads etc, all built no expense spared, and I think I will pass on a V8 in a rx-7... Can you say chassis flex? Can you say it just feels wrong all wrong, i really got to thinking while driving it putting a v8 in a 7 would make me no different than the v8's I'm trying to teach lessions, im glad I went rotary again

Stickers and the "morality" (sheesh) of boinger swaps aside, I still want to know if Winnipeg85GSL likes his car any less now that he knows it's not TBM..

It's a bitchin' ride too man, like he'd have every bitch in Winnipeg comin' up to his window, askin' for a ride. Then he'd fire up his big V8, and drive away with the prettiest bitch in all of Manitoba, in the RX-7 with the most people bitching about it.
