Alright, I'll reply to this one.
Look I understand that Function over form stuff and all. for a dedicated track car that is. I drive my car 60-70 miles a day, and getting 10mpg on a 300hp car would cost me $728 a month in gas alone. another $75 on premix, and maybe $500 on speeding tickets hahaha..
Not everyone with an RX7 needs to go 0-60 in 4 seconds. I can definitely "afford" to build a 400hp engine with all the money I've put into this car, but I'd have one UGLY ******* beast. Coils and wheels is what we LIKE to spend money on. I'd rather look good, get 20mpg, and go slow, than spend $10,000 on a motor that it probably going to last ~2 years, and cost a whole lot of money in the meantime(gas, turbos, etc. things break)
This car is my daily, and getting lower lap times is so far away from being important to me, that I might as well be driving a school bus(in a "racing" sense)
I really like your car, and respect the fact that it is probably 4x as fast as my car. But I also realize that you probably don't drive your car 1/15th as much as some of us do. since it's "collecting dust" and all.
I hope that helps you understand why we waste our time on "stupid" things :X

I have about 15g on my car, about 10g's on the motor alone rest on suspension and electronics. I daily it for a while but its to much of a risk to have it as a DD( car is loud, watch out for cops, risking some dumbass might hit you or worst get it stolen and loose it all.) its just not worth it. MPG is not that bad for me, 18hwy/15city, then again I drive like a grandma and only have my Nascar moments once in a while.
