1995 Cobra vs 1988 RX-7
 

Me racing a local guy. Cobra did 510HP with a Procharger, heads, cam, and intake, all bolt ons, seriously good driver. Me, cam only LS1, 394HP/365TQ, bolt ons. Races where from 45-125ish. Done on a track of course.

okk..... you lost to him lol

No shit?

The kill was his. Just posted it since there where videos.

He did run a 11.5@124MPH on ET Streets. I ran a 12.7 @ 119MPH on 225 Kuhmo MX's. Tire selection has changed.

Fast car around here, I raced a camm'd and tuned Evo that night. Something like 2-3 bus-lengths.

Should of stuck with a rotary :) BTW what kind of gauges where those in the second video.

Sometimes I wonder if the T78 build I was in the mix of doing would of held up vs the same car. I guess I'll never know ;).

They need to be redone. Too much of a tilt.

It's hardly an RX-7.

I think These v8 morphs should be badged R-lsx-7's .

And why is that? My title says its an RX-7 still.

God dont start bitching about the V8. He posted sharing a vid and you guys are going to start this shit?

It's a bit of a different ball game. It's an RX-7, yes. But not quite... you guys have to start learning to add something special about your cars.

A LS1 RX-7 against a Cobra isn't anything fancy. It's V8 vs V8. A rotary RX-7 vs a Cobra is a whole different story.

I would like to submit to the courts that you've tried to bring more views into this thread by excluding the fact that your RX-7, isn't quite what it is.

^^Should people now put rotary in the thread title so people know its rotary?? lol

LOL seriously, i dont know why everyone is bitching. Let people do whatever they want to their car.

Yes its sad that more and more rx7s are turning over but theres nothing we can do about it. Complaining and belittling the owner/car only makes us look like kids.

When people drop F20's in the AE86, do they say, "o its hardly an AE86, call it an AE862k". People swap engines to what they are satisfied with.

Much like interracial dating.

Why is it a different ball game?

It's still an RX-7. The collection of components make the car, not the engine. yes I removed the "unique" rotary, but I did to update my power plant in the spirit of hot rodding. Ironically most rotary guys in person that I meet or give a ride love my car and I receive compliments. I have nothing against the rotary also, I beleive I have more against certain owners.

Most would say I have added something special into my car :).

Wasn't meant to impress you. I raced a very quick local car, it was recorded, and I posted. I like any car race between two cars. Maybe you should bring your rotary up here and compete a little, I'll record it, and post it here.

Wow. Honestly, I don't really care. My RX-7 is still an RX-7, still will be if you say so or not. I'm not trying to bring up views, I posted this on a few other forums too, I know I enjoy a good race, just thought others would too.

Thanks.

I agree with most of what you said.

lol you dont know how mad i get when i see hot white girls with black guys.

I get even MORE mad when i watch porn and i see some UGLY ass black guys with the HOTTEST sluttiest white girls ever imaginable.

Techniqully speaking it is not a rx7 anymore. Even though I don't mind v8 conversions (when done right).

Sorry mate, no rotary no RX.

Cobras are nice cars.

I cant even belive the BS its getting deep here guys.

Its a RX7 still. never mind the fact its still a world class sports car even with the V8.

its hard to face it the ls1 is just far more superior

rotors or pistons... Your shit still stinks.


Who gives a fuck what engine goes in a 7. People who hate on pistons are just as bad as people who hate on rotors.

Shit, the only problem i have with his car is his fugly ass tilted gauge cluster, but he allready addressed that.

Ironically I had someone help with that part. They did a bunch of them on old rods and I thought they knew what they where doing.

Boy I was wrong!

I personally prefer rotary, but 400whp in an RX7 regardless of what motor is respectable.

Nice runs :icon_tup:
