Drop some appreciation for the 7!

Yesterday after thanksgiving dinner which I hope everybody enjoyed I watched some racing videos with my cousin (7th Sign=Supra). We were watching a video of a RX7 im sure you have seen in Japan that’s fully streetable and runs 9's on street tires, the car is just nasty staying very stable at very high speeds. The car looked like a show car and too see the power it possessed wow! We watched a couple other videos. I saw a touge video with a RE Amimeya RX7 that just tears the turns up. It races against a heavily modified Skyline and WRX and they can’t even come close to the 7. Another video was a stock twin 7 defeating a 600hp Silvia, a fast Supra, and Skyline, due to straights the 7 doesn’t hold top spot but nearly keeps 1st with its superb handling. I just wanted to say I love my 7 I will never let go of this car; I will always be a 7 owner. If yall feel the same as me drop some love for the 7. The RX7 is an amazing car the performance characteristics it possesses and its potential with upgrades are hard to touch.

I remember seeing a video of a 300hp RX-7 VS. Oido in his ~600hp Supra, some 600hp R34 GT-R, and Tsuchiya himself in some 400hp S15 on the Tsukuba track in Japan.

The RX-7 had the first half of the race, but then eventually the higher-powered cars won thx to the straightaways.

I love that video.

That and the new Option DVD that came with Super Street. Has a whole segment on RX-7's doing a canonball run in Japan. Top cars were pushing like 180+MPH... wow

Rotary powaaaaaa

I think i've seen the one with the skyline and wrx. Thats the one where the rx7 starts off chasing the skyline and the wrx in the back runs off the trail and messes up his car right? Then they switch the rx7 and skyline and the rx7 just takes off around the turns?

yeah i have that video, fd did well in the first 2 laps but eventually the uphills and straights are no match to the high hp machines. The fd just couldnt keep up since it was the only car under 400hp.

i have suffered from personal drama... family, gf's, work the list goes on... i got a good friend that i let it all go to (not crying like a bitch or anything, but man-to-man talk) but when hes not around the only piece of matter in this world that can relax me and keep me in peace is my fd3s. i will never let this car go and will never let anyone take it away from me. its part of my life and it will always be part of my life. thats my .2 cents.
