Sweet! Would be cool if damian was there to take some clips as well. Sure some of his suction mount shots would be pretty cool.

Hey....

I think I remember my brother telling me somthing about that car...

Isnt this the car that made the people change the rules up in lemans because it beat the second place car so badly??? Like it wasnt even a race... If I'm not mistaken, they banned rotary engines or somthing like that from lemans??

Somone please correct me if I'm wrong I just remember hearing about this somwhere.

Too bad you don't get to see the 787 like us folks out here in So Cal. Seven Stock is on in less than 2 months.

it's the 2nd gen body style GTO wide body car. It was driven by Pete Halsmer I think was his name. It's white and blue, not the LeMans winning car in 91.

In one of the japanese car videos about the 7, it shows the car on a street circuit. Can't remember if I have it on DVD or not, but if I do I'll try to capture the scene. Rick go over the engine some too?

OH MY GOD, THE 787B IS THE GREATEST RACECAR OF ALL TIME. I JERKOFF EVERYNIGHT TO THE SOUNDS OF IT ON MY COMPUTER. JUST BECAUSE OF IT'S ONE WIN, THE ROTARY IS NOW THE BEST ENGINE IN THE WORLD!!@!



It is just the claim to fame for the rotary community. They refer to it like it's on the same level as Moses and his Ark.
