I was one of the privileged to get a ride in his beast. The last time we were at JPR Dee says to hop in and check out the TEC unit and how his car feels. We went around the block but as soon as the boost came on the tires were just breaking loose as if the ground was wet. It was amazing. This is going to be a car thats talked about for a long time since he's out there running his car.

I also agree, he's very modest and nice enough to let Dee take me for a ride!

I was lucky enough to ride in the cleanly done PFS 3 rotor for Kevin Roberts in Ga way back in the late 90's. I was impressed and it was only in the 450 rwhp range with the electromotive tec II. I can't imagine what a 3 rotor feels like now since they are making more hp nowadays. The car was a dream though and I should have bought it back then since he was gonig to sell it to me for 31K at the time, but I was newly married and didn't want to hear the wife say I love rotary powered car more than her for 5 years as I paid it off.

Like others, pics when you get a chance.

Tim

Time to hit up some 16" wide tires for these 3 Rotor monsters. One day I will know how it feels to get sucked through the other side of the seats in a singled 3 Rotor.

Well, i rode in it with the new Exedy clutch in it and its retarded fast. thats the only way i can describe it. Even with second gear pulls it pins at 10,000 RPM in no time... Especially when he did a second gear pull and hit the hump in the road and spun the drag radials... so all i can say is that car is retarded fast...

This reminds me of a few weekends ago, I got to ride in this 3 rotor gt40r fd. It was a track car, and its by far the fastest and scariest thing Ive ever riden in!

Is this turbotommy the same as the one in this thread:
https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...7&postcount=64
because if so, I am confused. THAT turbotommy seemed to be a poser, or perhaps he is genuine and was playing 'possum?

and the whole heated debate began when he was essentially saying how he so easily killed LS1 cars. Well **** yeah....a 650 hp turbo three rotor IS a bit different than a run-of-the-mill FD.....lol!

LMAO, yea thats me the poser! I didnt want to fill in exactly what was done to my car. and i just get sick of hearing ls1 this, ls1 that. When i had my 2 rotor, single turbo set up, i left so many "worked ls1's". It was a solid 10 second car!. Sorry if i offended anyone. Maybe im just secretly in love with an ls1 and just dont know it yet
