I seen that at Island Dragway this past weekend

That car was for sale awhile ago on Autotrader.com and it is sold for like $25,000 and someone have bought it for $30,000+. That is a 10 second car running the T-66 single with NOS. I think the owner built that car at Primespeed. Sorry I don't know the owner profile.

Those are 2 different cars. Both from T&R (http://www.rx7s.com). The first one I believe was Blackwell's, and I think it has since been sold. I'm pretty sure the 2nd car is Romeo's 1st gen with an FD powerplant transplant.

i saw blackwell's car at a shop a few weeks ago. he was there too so i think he still owns it unless he sold it just recently.

Jr, both of those pics. are of the same car. I had saved about 9 of them when it was being advertised for sale. Absolutely without a doubt the same car. I believe it was on autotrader.com as a previous reply stated.

I believe that you got them from the same site, but I doubt that they're the same car. You may be right, (God know's I've been wrong before ),but I am pretty sure that the 2nd car is Romeo's GSL-SE with FD Drivetrain as seen on www.rx7s.com . Check out this pic:



Notice the black sleek light kit? Now look at your engine bay shot above and you'll see the edges of the same kit. Plus the car in your pic is white, just like this one. And I've seen both cars in person and I think Blackwell's engine bay looks a bit different from that one. But like I said I may be wrong.

Hmm.. now that I look at Romeo's car again I guess that can't be right. The area where the wipers are on the 1st gen is totally different than the FD... Hmm.. I wonder why the engine bay is white then on your other pic? Resprayed maybe? Like I said, I've been wrong before!

*EDIT - now I feel like a total moron, Blackwell's car is white, and I knew that... duh. That 1st pic makes it look silver to me for some reason.. DUH!

I think Romeo's car has additional injectors on the manifold.

Be careful on the Clearview, the cops have been cracking down like crazy over there. They like to hide on the shoulder by the on ramps for Union Tpke and 73 Ave, usualy in unmarked cars. They just look like broken down vehicles until it's already too late.

Glad to hear Blackwell didn't sell it, last time I saw him we were at LI Motorsports when he broke his diff. Did he go with the Kaaz after that?

I want his hood! I think I'm in love, but don't tell my wife.

Anyone have a line on one like that?

I don't know if both of the pics are the same cars, but the second pic is a third-gen (unless the guy also transplanted the ABS components, plastic oil-cooler ducs, and pretty much everything else from a third-gen engine bay)
