Rally RX7, how cool is it

My Friend actually knows the owner and I may even get a drive in her if I'm lucky

I thought the 7 was a road car.

I couldn't picture it as a stump jumper, but there it is..

when you go out to races the cars are moving really fast so you have to get high speed film and camera.
I saw one a couple years back in the scca pro rally(it was red) he was kicking everyones *** in the 2wd class

Any car can be made into a rally car, but some are inherently better at it than others so they're more popular. The 1st Gen RX-7 was a very successful rally car all over the world, but the 2nd Gen was too heavy to be truly competitive, and it was also released around the time 4WD was becoming the norm for top-level rallying. Mazda rally drivers were switching to 4WD 323 Turbos instead.

Yeah, but that's no different to the radiators, intercoolers and oil coolers in any rally car.

as a fan of WRC, I can definitely say that's some cool rally stuff there =D haha, rally needs more attention in north american IMO. Gotta get some more companies into it, and get it to become bigger.

And almost forgot to mention, that blue is indeed nice. Make us wallpaper, we demand it XD

RXM307 - I'll host them for you, if you want. Although my connection isn't the fastest, you can email them to me @ ebeaar09@email.pct.edu.
