Before I get flamed for posting a question thats been asked alot, I found something great.


I was going down the road, look to my left, BOOM S5!


I stop and look at the car, It's DAMN NEAR IMMACULATE!


Its been sitting a while, but someones been taking care of it.

Its paint is so shiny, and there is no rust, or dings anywhere on the car.

I wonder "How many miles are on this bad boy? Prolly alot considering its just sitting around."


Pow, the doors are unlocked. I open the doors and look inside.

The interior is PERFECT!

Look at the odometer....

057xxx!

HOLY ****!


Its an S5 N/A GTU with 57,000 miles, and in almost immaculate condition.

Well we leave a number, no phone call after a few days.

Go back, the house is abandoned, but the owner of the car lives across the road.

Says "The car runs and drives, but it just doesn't go fast"


So this brings me to the question, what all could cause an RX-7 to run, but not go fast?

Thanks,

...or it could be a matter of opinion too.

yeah, he could of meant, he didnt think it was a very fast car. Id say look into it. Especially if its cheap

Considering it's condition he is prolly "babying" it and shifting at 3k,.. hence "It doesnt go fast"

jerd_hambone

haha, yeah, its not been driven in a while according to the owners


said its been sitting for about 2 years

Ask him what his other car is

The only thing I could think of is the secondary ports aren't opening.

jerd_hambone

haha, its a truck

yeah i'm thinkin the secondary ports, or maybe its like my conquest and has a stopped up fuel line



oh yeah, if anyone is interested in buying or trading for a 85 Plymouth Conquest with 62,xxx miles on it, go check out my post in the for sale area haha

SASSER

It's a GTU, it's not going to be fast, stock...

jerd_hambone

haha i don't care how fast it is, it could be an 87 base like i used to have

in the condition its in, and the mileage, it needs a home with someone who knows what it is


not with some geezer who is just going to let it rot
