Everyone Scared to run RX-7 last night
We are doing the math with a stock FD tranny, we don't care what none stock tranny does as ratios are different, so doing the math with a FD tranny @ 10k rpm top of second gear.
3.90 = 98 mph
4.10= 94 mph
4.30 jdm =89 mph
4.44 = 86 mph
4.77=80
Non stock ratio
3.55. 108
You will have to have a 3.20 rear in order to get 120 mph on second gear with stock tranny, but your will be like a cow barely accelerating.

Math doesn't lie. The sad fact is that this discussion has taken away from darkphantom's obvious success. His car is truly bad-***, I don't think ANYONE ever said anything different. That's a fact. But...no way was 120 ever hit in 2nd gear, according to the math. Another fact.
Sometimes one can post something unintentionally or maybe slightly exaggerate the performance. I see it all the time on the various boating forums I'm on. I'm not saying ANY of this HAS happened in the posts in this thread, but...just sayin'.
There was a kid with a (supposedly) 900 hp FD here in Wichita, years back. I saw the car, I heard the car, and it (supposedly) ran 9's. I had no reason to doubt that, but then again...one never knows. There are some really fast and quick FDs in the world, and we have many on the Forum. Pretty cool, really.

The OP posts this type of stuff every year or so. He has a nice car but inflates just about everything.
IIRC wasn't one of the threads locked...something about him and a corvette? He also ducked running another member forever...always with excuses.
Consistent BS. Can't handle the stupid anymore...time to add to my block/idiot list.

me running another member where???
on another note... with my friend in the corvette i testes 9krpm an was going 125mph.. with my friend in the corvette right beside me to confirm his speed in his speedometer.....In 3rd gear
Have someone take a vid of your speedo while driving cuz it is still kinda hard to believe. I forget what diff you said you're running but at 8.5k on my FC I think I'm right under 70 mph.
/\ brand new gauge from Ray@ malloy mazda... just havent had the chance to calibrate the speedo. so if you know where to do it i would sure like to know...
and like i said come ride in the car so i can proove a point... cause all this BS is nonsense until you actually see it for yourself
