it's a slushbox n/a rotary with like 150 hp. You should be racing geo metros and mopeds, not skylines and cbr's

LOL your right

but my real question was should i just race and watch them disapear in the distance or backdown?

oh and i forgot to mention my freind Mua was thinking about challenging me with his 1992 Saab 900 Hatchback turbo he hasn't done anything to the performance of the car.

why race them?

Race if you want to, but they'll hold it against you.

race them in reverse....blow your tranny and swap in a 5 speed.

Race them, then swap this in: https://www.rx7club.com/20b-forum-95/fully-built-20b-package-sale-593731/ and a week later race again.

lol nicely said

why would you buy an Automatic? unless ur old, missing a left leg, and ur worring about speed, u should of bought at least a 5 speed or a turbo FC. Driving stick just makes the biggest difference.

well here were my couses in car as this is my first car. a beat up 1992 Honda Accord Coupe with a 5spd or the white 1990 Mazda RX-7 GXL with automatic that i bought

I know this is an old thread but in case you never raced your friend with a 900, when my 900 was stock I hung dead even (from a roll) with my friends turbo2 FC. Of course I got murdered from a stop. If yours is N/A (can't really tell from the pic) you're going to get raped, especially if you have an automatic.

Do your stories come in English translations?

Tell your friends that they're retarded for wanting to race a car that is def. going to lose to them. I'll never understand that.

Hahah... yea .... i beat a Lingenfelter C6 Corvette....... hahah...... uh.... yea... i didn't quite understand what you said, but it sounds like you said you beat a WRX and a turbo turbo nissan altima, in your 83 gsl... haha. Unless you have a really fatty turbo on it, I don't think so.

Racing is fun. Too bad 84% of this thread is retarded.

idk i beat a 9000 turbo . and i gotta 87 N/a 5 speed. but just stay in ur league don't gor racing skylines or sum **** u'll just embaress urself u should be tryin to find a crx or an eclipse to race or sumthin unless u gotta t2 if u got an auto prolly go find a metro like that one guy was sayin

ajsuper7

i know everyone knocks the auto tranny and rightfully so but honestly here in houston the traffic is so bad i actually like the automatic. the torque converter gives it a little more low end power and its perfectly geared for the highway. 3rd is by far the strongest gear. that said id much perfer another 5spd fc...

3rotorjoe

who said any thing about a turbo? turbos are pointless off the line in a rotary.... rx cars are high end... thats why i run a 6-71 roots type supercharger... there umm umm burna... turbos lag.... supercharger there at low rpm up to red line.... they may lag a lil more but more dependable in the long run...
