first drive EVER...

my dad in a parking lot, me WOT first gear,
we jumped from 0-60Kph in about 3-4 seconds...
nothing but grip, I was happy.

then later on the open freeway, I was going 45Kph in 2nd,
redline second, redline 3rd,
at the point in time my dad is screaming "OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH NOW!"
so, I shift to 4th, smile, because that's one of the first RX-7 experiences I ever had!... and I then realized that in 3rd redlined I was at 140Kph!!!

I love my car, and I can't wait 'till it's summer again, and I have a few mods done!!!

I'll post more story's of peoples reactions later on!
one of my goals is not just to make a girl think that she wet herself,
but make a girl wet herself. (the good way)

went for one ride up a curvy road, guy who was following was like "damn, that can handle"

then recently took a guy for a ride up a different curvy road, his reaction when we got to the top and looked at my tires "you weren't even pushing it..."

All my passengers at one point or another commented on how well the interior layout is with its "cockpit" feel. It "wraps" around their body, well.

I can remember giving a guy at work a ride in my FD ( reason was to have him give an opinion about an intermittet CEL which is fixed now) I was having him check to see if maby the oil metering pump sensor was bad ( no power and hesitation) anyway, I pressed the gas in first gear, let it sit at 3500 RPM for 2 seconds, then floored it all the way to 6500 RPM, through only 2 gears, ( I didnt wanna speed) he was like "God damn this car is fast!! I didnt know it was that fast!!!, God damn!!! aint no problem man this thing got plenty of power!!!!" lol funny thing is that most people think that its just " another old car" I like this though, cause it helps to draw less attention.

I told somebody that it had twin turbo, and he said, "did you make sure the engine can handle the turbos when you installed them"? I said no lol It comes stock with twin turbos, of course the engine can handle it"

Another guy told me that some FD's dont come with twin turbos, and to avoid an argument I just agreed with him lol

Some common responses to my car...

Before the ride:
"What kind of car is it?"
Mazda RX7.

"It's new right?"
Nope, its a 95.

"Really?! Wow. Looks good."
Thanks.

During Ride, Before Boost:
"I like these seats."
"What are all those gauges for?"
"Its a lot more bumpy and rattly than I expected."

During WOT:
"Oooooh, f$%k.. Oh my god... Oh ****... Jesus god..."

After:
"OMG, we were starting to go sideways when you floored it!"
Yeah the 275s aren't wide enough for city streets.

"What the hell is in that thing?!"
A rotary..

"Ok whatever, help me get out..."

i was picking my car up from having a PS pump replaced (before i eliminated it cuz it broke again) and i guess when i was towing, some of the driveshaft bolts broke and i didn't realize it, not all of them, just some

when i pick it up, i had my gf at the time with me and we take off and the car is just vibrating really bad and i'm like WTF!?!

i'm all freaking out at this noise and vibration looking at the gauges to see if there is something wrong and i tell her that i need to take it back and look over at her and she's going CRAZY......she told me to keep driving

my car made a girl have an orgasm, can you say that?

that's the best reaction i've had so far

I have had a few good reactions in the past:

Granny in some Olds pulled up beside me once and told me that my exhaust was on fire, i laughed till i smelt something and looked to find that my bumper was melting off around my exhaust.

When my buddy rode in it for the fist time and when the secondary turbo kicked in he was like : V TEC JUST KICKED IN YO! WOOOOOO!!! (gotta love the fast and furious quotes)

I haven't given rides to many girls yet but they usually flip out. Needless to say the first girl i took out for a ride was so impressed she is now dating me lol!

I took some dude for a ride that was all high on his audi a4 horse that he just purchased. after the car ride he just looked extremely depressed, it was like he had just realized that he wasted 25k

I'm washing my car out in my driveway and a little kid on his big wheel passes by with his dad:

Kid: Dad, is that a Lamborghini?
Dad: No son, thats a Mazda.

It made my day. I get a stupid grin on my face everytime I think about it.

My brother in law is into cars and he knew I had gotten an FD, so I took him for a ride. He wasn't to familiar with the FD. I did a pull in 2nd to 3rd shifting @5000-5500 at 75% throttle.

He says: "Damn, I didn't know these were so fast. I had no idea..."
Me: "yeah its a pretty fun car..."

So this past Monday I took this female friend I have for a ride ( yes she is very cute, and no theres no pics).Unlike most girls she actually knows what an RX7 is. First thing she said when she got in the car was "wow this car is so low to the ground"

Then when we started driving she kept saying "wow". Then, I did a few high rpm runs 6-7k rpm and she said "wow this car is so quiet but fast!" ( its stock)

Then I came to a stop, revved the engine, and did a 4-5 second burnout with the car twisting side to side, and then raced to about 75-80 mph in 3 or 4th gear. Then I slowed down and she started laughing and said "OMG that was so fun! this car is so cool, I wish my car was this fast!"

This has always been my dream to get a cute girl to ride in my car and now that dream has ben fulfilled! lol

this is a great thread and here are some of my contributions to it:

having just bought the car and im taking my friend for a ride: "WHAT THE **** DID YOU BUY?! OMG WHAT THE ****!!!"

a co-worker of mine who is an older gentlemen: "holy **** man, i feel like im 20 again" and "oh ****! that cop turned around, i dont want to go to jail!" as we were parking "i saw my life flash before my eyes"

another co-worker who is younger "mr. A, i am never riding in your car again. ever."

best buddy: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

a friend: "........." (was looking for the oh **** bar, found nothing and held his knees)

my mom: "this car is a ******* nightmare."

fellow rotard/friend: "look! a victim!" (referred to a passing mustang)

me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (boosting with new engine after break-in was complete)

random guy at gas station: NOOO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU DONT PUT OIL INTO THE GAS TANK!

gangster wannabe at gas station: mad dogs me and my car, gets into his crown vic and continues to stare at me. he peels out at the pump, shoots off into the highway and runs the red light. wtf?

my brother: "uhhh that guy you passed is trying to show off to you....oh ****...hes going into incoming traffic with cars coming...."

relative: "your car attracts alot of negative attention, we've only been driving for 30 minutes and already several idiots want to race you or have done something stupid"

My wife yells "That's enough" all the time

My 9 yr old son grins from ear to ear

My Father in law wants one, but says "does this thing even have shocks?"

Local cop pulled me over one time for no front plate and asked this is the twin turbo right? It's real nice! (Still gave me the ticket)
