QUICKEST 2 ROTOR 1/4 MILE WORLD RECORD?


Im confused.... some people say Abel Ibarra old RX7 currently holds the world record of 7.44..... others say "Rafaelito" from Puerto Rico with a 7.44....

I searched around and found "Rafaelito" record at 7.47 but yet some people say that he has a 7.44 et...... I also looked and found no record for Ibarra.

About a week ago, I was in Puerto Rico, attending the PanAmerican Nationals, and witness Eddie colon FD RX7 w a 13B from "Sporty Motorsports" do a 7.44 @ 178mph.

so...Who is the quickest now??? Anyone with current INFO?

 

God I love that FB. Sucks I only got to see it the once
(Yes, I know, waaay off topic)

 

where?

I know im also getting off topic.... but for your info.... this week I'll be receiving the same rims from CA, however they are CHROMED.

by the way... check out rxtuner.com or Dec issue for feature car of the month.

 

I dont like the rims on the SA22 thow I tend to have a very differ look upon rims then most

 

can anyone answer the topic's question?

 

ssglopez. do you by chance live in Brooklyn? cause I saw a same colored 1st gen like your y era un boricua. i just moved here from florida and i have a second gen. this is my celly pa ver si hacemos un rx get together 917-686-9080

 

I used to live in brooklyn..but that was over 10 years ago.... I live in queens.
I'll take you #..... call you sometime this week.

 

i have a poster of it hanging in my room ... from the rxtuner mag..

 

Ive seen that same (maybe) fb a couple of times(same color anyway). Theres a few rx7s floating around brooklyn now. More fb's than fc's by far. Only seen 1 fd. Queens however......

 

lol i hear that. i live in lower mahattan and so far ive seen no rx-7 besides twinturbo7. and he lives in the village. but yeah i eat civics. i think it must be the same guy, he has a big puertorican flag design on the back window lol. gheess had to be a boricua with a 7 lol.

 

To get right down technical, Abel is still the quicker in the old rx-7

7.442@176

7.446@178 (if i'm not mistaken)

So if nit-picking to the thousandths... Abel still has the record...

And stay tuned, because there's very good chance Demetrios will beat that e.t. with his back halfed 7 (not even a full tube car).

 

Slight correction....

7.443@176 (backed-up with a 7.50 on the next run)

7.446@178 (if i'm not mistaken) (not sure of back-up)

I would love that to happen, in fact I've been waiting since last year!!

 

Well, last year the car went 8.40 @ 164mph weighing in at 2500lbs. This year the car has a different tranny, much lighter car, and making more power so we'll see.

 

Ernie, I know you know, but there is a long way from 8.40 to 7.40.... but I hope to see it happen!

Cheers,

Yea I know, but if you could have seen the car. Its been completely rebuilt top to bottom after the fire last season. It may not hit a 7.40 but it'll come damn close.

 

Cool hope it happens!!

Not anymore...
As of 16 March 2004.......Sporty Shattered Ibarra's World record with a 7.34 et @ 180MPH
