It's a sad day but my car is gone...

After having this RX7 for nearly 2 years...we parted ways today. It is staying closing to home. The new owner has big plans for the car. I wish him the best of luck with the car...

Now it's time to buy a 800+rwhp Supra. I am probably buying Ray Wilson's Supra. Yes the same Ray Wilson from PFS.

I think as I've gotten older, and more into the actual sport of racing and drifting, I've started to shy away from straight out power, and care more about handling, responsivenes, and overall balance.

Different strokes for different folks, but I sure as hell wouldn't balk at an 800HP Supra.

Surprisingly, I didn't see any at SEMA this year.

Weren't you trying to get 25k or so for it? Hopefully you got close to what you were asking in this never-ending lowball market.

Yes I did own a 97 Supra...See Below...


I did sale it for just about my asking price...but after the sale was completed the new owner allowed me to take my stereo system and he is giving me my wheels and tires off the car. So I acctually came out of this pretty good

I sold it to a local enthusiast...my ebay hasn't ended yet...

goodluck with the supra, good choice for a higher HP, from what I've seen you post you seem to like more of the straight line runs rather than the twisties...You will be able to get that out of the supra.

You see, son, his info shows quarter mile and dyno numbers for his FD, something only a Supra owner would care about. We have been suspicious of this fella for quite some time now. Most FD owners are at the the big tracks or local AutoX's...

That's pretty funny...I probably will eventually get another RX7...that would make number 8. Most if not all of the RX7 owner's I know love taking their 7's to the drag strip. So perhaps you are a little mistaken as to "Most FD owners are at the the big tracks or local AutoX's..."

thanks for being suspicious about me

The "Endless" FD was pretty sweet. But the guy that was there with the car didn't know squadoosh about the FD. Here's a few photos...

You did damn well to get the times and power you did out of the stock twins. Very impressive.
Good luck with the Supra. Honestly, I was looking for a Supra before I ended up with my 7. The Supra is a great car.
As far as filling the void for the 7........I don't know. The overall package(quickness, handling, and especailly feel) is hard to beat. It's ruined me as far as liking other cars. I will probably never sell the 7 because of that..........even if I buy something new.

LOL perhaps cause you are in texas, not many twistie lovin fella's in a world of flats and 90 degree turns! Poor fella's.

Us NorthEasterners ATTACK THOSE CORNERS! :P

I find the complete opposite up here Supra vs. FD anyways. (Meaning FD=track/twisty/competition, Supra=Straight line)
