I’m at the Enmark gas station filling her up. Two guys walking back to their car looking over say,”******* Ferrari.”

that comment did make me laugh out loud...

Snapshot,
That's what the car feels like when i am driving mine

It must feel great when they said that. And i think it must mean something when
someone as yourself that owns a Ferrari loves RX-7s.

Were they a bunch of rednecks???

rotor vs. piston

I know you have a ferrari, but you posted your FB, so... were you driving the FB or ferrari when they said that?

ya this whole thread makes no sense to me :S

autopaul

mine was when i was doing donuts in a parking lot at a school, and some guys came and started asking about my porshe, although they would be thinking of a 944 possibly the ugliest porshe ever besides 914 of course... but still they said it sounded wicked too

bkm_rx7

944 also being one of the WORST porsches EVER made..."poor mans porsche" <--- it was given that nickname for a reason...not to dis your rx7 or anything...just pointing this out...

^The N/A 944 that is...

The point is that her RX-7 was mistaken for a Ferrari.

That is why she posted a pic of her RX-7.

Uh, worst Porsche was the predecessor to the 944, the Audi-powered 95 - 110 hp 924. Handled like a porsche, but accelerated like a VW Bettle and sounded like a rock crusher.
Built for snobs who needed a car with "PORSCHE" emblazoned on it but couldn't afford a 911.

The 914 4-cylinder wasn't all that great either--- better than the 924 but not as good as the 944. However, there's one guy in my area who is currently shoe-horning a 20B into a 914...

My finest moment was when I got out of my Widebody, and some guys were on the sidewalk, and they said, "WTF is that? A Conquest TSi?" I said, "RX-7." They said, "what year is that, 91 or so?" I said, "79" They said, "Are you sure it's not a Datsun or a Porsche?" Jokingly, I said, "Title says RX-7, Registration says RX-7, body plate says RX-7... I'm 90% sure it's an RX-7" They were like, "sweet ride then! What's it got, the V6 or the V8?" I politely said, "1.3L rotary" They were like, "that's a SMALL V6!" I said, "heh... no v6, no v8... just 2 rotors" They said, commenting on the cherry bombs that were on the car at the time (it idled like a lumpy cammed v8... sounded the same and everything), "It sounds like a v8!" I said, "yeah, the new exhaust is on the way... it'll be here next week... MUCH quieter." They said, "It's a cool car, man" and walked off.

With my first 7 about 15 years ago (an '81 GX-- Canadian GSL equivalent) I began dating a new girlfriend about a month after purchase and about a week after the breakup with a prior girlfriend.

It was night when she entered the car for the first time, so the instrument panel was lit up. Her response? "Wow, this looks like an aircraft!" She didn't mistake it for a Porsche--- I'd told her I'd pick her up at 9:30 and that the car was a red Mazda, but I never told her what model. After a few months she was hinting that she wanted me to "help her" buy one. The sad thing is, if she'd ultimately proven to be the right one I would have bought her one...

First Things First,

Jeff nice duck tape job!

Second,

When you drive your step moms BMW for a night and wish you could be back in my RX7 but I can't due to the point I have to play driver for one night.

Thanks,

Raced a v8 trans am. Beat him. At the next light he says god damn whats in that thing. I smile and politely say no pistons. His mouth drops we pull into a mcdonalds and I show him the beast. He just about pissed himself when I popped the hood.

I cruised with a few DFW RX7 guys (all 3 generations represented), and we went to this drive-in hamburger place where there were lots of classics, and american muscle cars.
I was behind about 3 other FCs and a few FBs behind me and this old redneck guy walks up to me and goes, "What are these, Honda's or something?"

I just acted like I didn't hear him and continued driving.

Wow i hate people who think they are better than you, when there not and there just plain ignorant... You should have got outta the car and kicked the guys ***, but I would image he would be a scraggily looking dude with tat's everywhere...

Aviator 902S

Nah, that's over-reacting--- even to a redneck fucktard like him. Just give him a big grin, laugh, shake your head and say, "No, you inbred. Hondas are for ricers, V8 american cars are for guys with no *****, and RX7s are for drivers. This is an RX7. If you've never driven one, you wouldn't understand."

But if he takes a swing at you for explaining these facts of life to him, THEN slice open his windpipe and take a **** straight down into his lungs...

speedx7

lol, thats funny

RarisRX-7

i had a few people ask me about my 'Porsche' and whether or not its a Turbo model, i say no, one guy says 'oh so its a V8?', again 'no', he looks at me like im crazy and asks 'V6?' i say no again and say it has a rotary engine, no pistons, cams etc, and then he says 'its a goddam 'LECTRIC car?'...

DAVID GRIMES

I sent an email to my younger piston-loving brother with a attached video of an FB doing 9's and only wrote: Hey, Chris This would be fun.

His "race car" Camaro got into the nines, so I guess he sees it as an offense and emails me back: "David, Would that be fun?"

I emailed him back finally and said, "Yes, that will be fun".

Gregs

actually your wrong, the FC was dubed the Poor mans Porsche

bkm_rx7

Only by an ignorant ********

Kentetsu

Sorry, but the old Z cars were also referred to as the poor man's porsche. This label has been applied to a few different cars over the years by various magazines.

I had a vaccum leak that made it sound like a turbo once, they asked where my bov was. I said wtf was that? I just put the turbo on there, figured it would do the work for itself.
