That's a good point. He would have to have an upgraded tranny. If the diesel Chevy, Ford, and Dodge trannys can't hold up to the kind of power levels needed, i'm sure this VW tranny can't either.

I doubt they swapped engines. If you havn't noticed, the Cayenne have gasoline engines, and this Touareg has a diesel engine. This would require alot of work and $$$$$$. I doubt you can pick up a Cayenne motor for cheap. For the money it'd take to do it, you could just buy a Cayenne.

Can you explain to me how they are the same driveline, when one is a v10 diesel and the Porsche is a twin turbo v8?!

The newer ones do share the same driveline though. Either way, it'd take alot of money to turbocharge the v8 in the VW. I'd say swapping in the twin turbos from the Cayenne is out of the question...I'm sure you couldn't get them for even close to cheap.

I'd love to see the dyno graph and time slip!

That wouldn't really make a damn bit of diffrence. You don't get hundreds and hundreds of pounds off a car by removing the interior. Even if they got it down to 5000 pounds (which I doubt) it'd still take a **** load of power to take a 488rwhp rx7. Then you have to take higher speeds into consideration. The rx7 is a hell of alot more aerodynamic than a Touareg. So at 100+ speeds, it'd take even more power for it to accelerate fast enough to take a 488rwhp rx7.

My theory is the Touareg has some mods, and your running around close to stock. Either that, or this whole story is BS.

what a crazy swap

I dont think someone would make up a story of a Germans drivng VW's SUV's and raping his Rx7.. Why would you make yourself look bad? Anyways anythings possible if you put enough money into it. Obviously these guys are loaded with money if they can afford 2 Touaregs and a BMW M3 they would defintely have enough money to tune them up!

Just curious what kind of mods do you have to make 488?

rotorsownyou7

488 rwhp and slicks and you hope to run high 10's low 11's? That should be low 10 territory.

RX 7 = Rotary = Wankel = German Engineering at it finest. < --- Kinda ironic if you ask me.

Every report I have seen on people like this (*****, KKK, Etc...) portrays them as young ignorant, wayward ***** without much going for them in life. You know your typical, trailer park double wide renter. I find it very odd that these guys had that kind of money for those vehicles. I guess stranger **** has happened.

And one final thought

Can someone please raise the BS flag? Look up the posters age and previous posts. Supposedly he joined this forum two years ago to brag about his Z06 beating a modified 3rd gen RX-7 in 5th gear. 19 years old and you have a Z06 and a 488rwhp RX-7 with 11 second time slips on street tires? And for whoever is saying 488rwhp is low 10 territory, go get a 550rwhp RX-7, run it on full drag slicks and see if you can even make it in the high 10's. Many very experienced drag racers on this forum with street legal trim, drag slicks, and 500+whp have a tough time even running in the 10's consistently.

TT_Rex_7, I personally would prefer that you (as well as every other reader) don't believe my story.. but instead of posting 4 different posts in a row, combine them into one damn post.. no wonder your post count is so high.

Anyway... Manni finally sent the picture he took from his phone while the skinheads were in Chev. He was focused on the M3 but you can see a bit of the Touaregs parked on either side of him. If you look closely you can see the German flag emblem on the side of the M3 and the one Touareg, as well as the "Alle fur Deutchland" windsheild banners. The picture quality is horrendous, but as I said it came from a camera phone at night (no flash).

First of all, I'm 20 now. The Z06 was given to me from my dad who passed away when I was 17.. so next time you decide to "raise the BS flag" get your facts straight. Ever since I was young I loved FD's, so I signed up for 7club. I chose the name AboveAll7s because I never lost to one in my Vette, but decided to sell it to my brother (it will NEVER leave our family) and get an FD of my own. My dad taught me everything I know, he's responsible for putting our Z06 into the 11's and did all the work himself. I built my FD in memory of my father, and I've been racing motored vehicles since I could count. Thanks for hijacking my thread... anyone have any USEFUL information?

TT_Rex_7

Ok, so which do you have, a Greddy FMIC, or a custom intercooler kit?!

Oh, and may I ask wtf a P & P intake manifold is?!

Why would you have a Greddy t-78 with a custom manifold, when the kit comes with a manifold!?

May I ask what you mean by "custom" wastegate?

-Alex

AboveAll7s

You certainly may wise ***... I have what I said I had; Greddy FMIC with a custom intercooler kit (piping, brackets, etc.) that I fabricated myself. I pulled the FMIC from a salvage yard and had to fabricate my own kit to run it.

P&P intake manifold is an abbreviation for port and polished. Do you know what an abbreviation is or should I define that too?

Who the hell said I got the T-78 kit in the first place? Does my list say kit? No. I pulled the Greddy FMIC and turbo from salvage but someone got to 60% of kit before me (including the mani).

I won't even bother to answer what a custom wastegate is.. how about you start questioning my custom exhaust too? Know what that is? I think the guys on the Toyota Camry Performance forums can even answer that one.

Answer your questions? Go hijack someone else's thread.

TT_Rex_7

An intercooler kit isn't just piping, brackets, etc., it includes an intercooler. So it should have stated Greddy FMIC, with custom piping, brackets, etc.

Typically you extrude and hone the intake manifold. If you port and polish it, you'll have to cut it, and weld it back together when done.

I never said you had the kit you dumb ****. I said why do you have a custom exhaust manifold, when it comes in a kit.

Are you kidding?! There's tial w/g, Greddy w/g, HKS w/g, etc. etc. None of those are "custom." A "custom" w/g would be one you had made, which I doubt. So care to explain what w/g you have?

-Alex

AboveAll7s

As I said before, anyone with any USEFUL information?

TT_Rex_7

It'd be useful information to know your mods. Can you not tell us what w/g you have, or show a dyno graph, or time slip?

-Alex

AboveAll7s

Lmao, dude.. give it a rest. My mods/dyno sheet/time slips are irrelavent to the thread I started. I would've gladly sent you all the information you so desperately beg for via PM but instead you had to hijack my thread in a lame attempt to be the first to "raise the BS flag". Now, stop posting your **** in my thread.

TT_Rex_7

Actually, they are relavent. If your really laying down 488rwhp, the Touareg wouldn't stand a chance. However, if your close to stock, the Touareg wouldn't have a problem taking you.

Facts are facts...it would take ~850rwhp for a gasoline Touareg to beat you, which would have to be on race gas, and a diesel model would take ~550rwhp and 1400+ rwtq. However, at 100+ mph, the Touareg would need even more power to keep up, because it's not even close to being as aerodynamic as an rx7.

There's also another way to look at it, and that would be you can't drive for ****. However, that couldn't be the case if you are running 11's, and you can't really mess up a race from a roll.
