Holy Cow! Drove the 7 for the first time today

Finally! I got it licenced and insured today. WOW! This thing's a blast to drive. Its amazing how easy you can loose track of what RPM you're at. I was at 6000 before I could realize it many times. Overall, for the size of the car, it handles wickedly, and the performance is amazing, even in my 86 N/a. The tranny shifts unbelievably smoothly for the kms on it. Seriously, I love this car. Seems the electrical gremlins are gone as well, which is really cool. I just don't know what to say, this thing is wicked. The styling, the drivability, even the sound of the engine at 6500 rpm. Man, I'm in love tonight. Thanks guys, you help to make it worthwhile. If not for this forum, I've have my mother to talk to about my 80s sports car, and what fun is that?

-Rick (the 7 can't loose!)

Beautiful isn't it? Fell in love the first time I saw mine and couldn't believe how it made me feel either...and it still does to this day and I've driven much higher HP cars than mine and they are nothing in comparison to the grin factor of the 7...

I got a friend of mine to scream "holy **** dick!" when I took him for a ride today. Redline 1st and 2nd, I dont think he had ever gone fast in a sports car before.

Yeah, I remember the first time I took my 7 out for a spin. I picked up my friend and went WOT on the onramp onto the freeway, the way it picked up scared the crap out of him. I still get the same reaction everytime I go WOT and my TurboXS RFL BOV makes a nice addition to the whole experience. Congrats!

Yea man, my best girl friend keeps asking me for a ride, WOT through atleast 1st and 2nd up to 70+ mph in a few seconds, she might scream my ear off.
