Click here to see Video]RX7 vs EVO[/URL]

The guy in the EVO had an Intake/Exhaust, Big FMIC, boost contrl and
claimed 25psi,.... and some Big graphics.

I wish it was not so dark, but it makes the point just the same
*note* that is the shift to 4th as I pass him, @ about 100mph
PS I dont know the guy talkin, he wanted to go for the ride and offered to film it

Nice video!

Your car is pretty fast. I didnt read the other thread but you are still on stock twins?

Either way, the camera dude is funny, he's like keep going *****. Why would he tell you to do that? lol

 

Nice run. It's good to see an FD driven with quick shifts.

 

HAHA, yeah, I still get goose bumps when I watch it.
It was supposed to be a fat 1/4 or .3miles on the odometer, marked by his and my GF in a car on the shoulder. But they couldn't do the "math" and marked at .6miles! Thats her in the picture, sweetheart,....but not so smart!
Well I'm hittin 135-140mph at the top of 4th and I didnt see the end, so I hit the break,.. then I saw it, he says "keep going *****, what you doooah, and I just stayed in front
*Stock/original eng/twins .9bars PFC, plus the usual goodies

 

Good kill! I am not a fan of the Evo/Sti fad. Yup that's right, I said it.... "fad". J/K... Cool cars for what they are. Way to spread the ownage around.

 

LOL @ calling your girl not smart

Either way, your car is fast and you have a cool gf. Most GF's dont like to participate in things like that. You're lucky you have one that does.

 

Looks like fun! Good one..

 

I have ann evo and I think that what you do is awesome. don't get me wrong the evo is cool but I'm planning on getting an rx7 fd in the next 6 months to really build. Awesome kill dude

 

Impressive Kill.

 

GREAT KILL! funny video,too.

 

On stock twins no less, nice job

 

i corrected the person that said, "the rotary can't lose!"
nice kill.

 

That was me...a REAL ROTARY can't lose...not the fake Bullshiznit.

 

yay good video. do it again, do it again!!!!! haha

 

As much as I enjoy the killz, i'm more interested in finding out if your g/f has an older sister or maybe a similarly "not so smart" fiiend looking to ride around in an FD...lol

all jokes aside, congrats on the kill...

 

i will love my reliability

 

I was thinking the same thing
too bad my FD is a two seater!
Jon

 

learn to launch

 

News Flash.... Evo's are AWD

 

hahaha I think i met you on the freeway on the 405. I had the black FD, changed somethings on it since you've last seen. Still on the hunt huh? Good luck with that. And on this vid. Nice kill that was a clean run

 

Something is terribly not right about that video. The EVO has you by 3 cars+ and you pull him and blow by him by another 3+ cars all before 1/4 mile.

Either that EVO is tuned like total crap or he needs some serious work on the driver mod!! Both cars should be in the 110-115mph range.

Good race and be safe.

 

I don't give a ****, your launch sucked donkey *****

 

You have made a definitive judgment on my skills by just one launch, where I broke traction for a split second at the top end of first gear in a modified twin turbo RX-7 on street tires on an unfamiliar piece of road doubling as a dragstrip??

You are a moron who thinks he knows something about a subject that he can't possibly know enough about to make any meaningful criticism, but you like to hear yourself none the less, and when you open your mouth all that comes out is...
"d-d-d-donkyballs".
Jon

 

Nice kill...

You did bog the launch though, but that's ok. Cause you raped the EVO pretty badly...hehe.

Good stuff!!

The '7 Can't Lose!!11SHIFT!!ONE1

 

Thank You,
But no bog. I eased into it at 4K, It broke loose, I let up and ease in again. Watch the tach, never below 4K. Traction is laughable in first, even in second the tires will sometimes grab at 4K then just break free again at 6K. I just received two extra rims to put some type of R-compound tire on for this spring. That will make things more predictable
EVO did a 5.5K AWD dump, straight to full throttle with reduced tire pressure. Even if I had a perfect launch with equal tires, this method almost doubles the force that he can apply,.. for as long as traction is the limiting factor. A real drag car does not need AWD because they are set up for full weight transfer to the drive wheels, they then employ tires that provide the maximum traction possible.
