Camaro...gasp! Nope, my engine came out of a vette... but the bloodlines are still the same I suppose.

I know you're just messin' around. It's all in good fun and that's why I love this group.

Hondas can be be ok to bring to the gap . In fact, you might say they do better than most FD's too

LOL. I think its fun, friendly rivalry. HP and performance is HP and performance. So many different ways to get there and certainly none of us corner the market on that.

i'm always up for friendly rivalry... i own a few rx7s, only one (the first one i owned) is a V8. so i'll argue with anyone.

V8 swap = best rx7 mod for torque

LOL. Yeah, its nice having more torque than most have hp. BUT I have to admit that when my FD was running smooth, that twin turbo response was heaven. It was refined and predictable.

I venture that I will eventually own a rotary again. I still love it, but for now I'll enjoy the gm version. I look forward to meeting everyone at the next meet, or even at zoom fest.

Well, on topic I tried to come come this year and that didn't work. Hopefully next year I'll make it.

Now to the fun part...hehehe.

You know Eddie, the only problem with the V8 swaps that once GM goes belly up it's going to be really hard to get parts for them...good thing they last a little while longer.

Well at least I know Mazda will still be making parts (and cars) for a while still.

On a side note, a small "I told you so" that you would miss your first 7 dearly, and glad to see you are enjoying one again (albeit with the wrong engine). But when you can't get those piston parts anymore I'm sure there will be plenty of hands to help put the right engine back in.

They'll still make the parts...just in China.

LOL. Yeah, so many people told me that when its gone..ITS GONE. BUT it went to a good home with R1RX7Girl and she has taken great care of it. Someday rotary will be back.

Now back on topic:

How fast are people going in the curves? Seems like a tight caravan in some of those pics. How did brakes hold up going downhill through all of that?

the dragon is a little too publicized and patrolled by the cops to get a "fast run" in very often. you can get one every now and then but at risk of flying up on other cars/bikes or a cop sitting just around a blind curve.

a lot of the time you are stuck behind someone who isn't going nearly as quick as you would like...for a variety of reasons...
