mine took a long time to break in cause my ceramic apex seals were 1 piece so it took a long time for it to start. now it starts in 2-3 cranks

the practial side of it is, where can you use a 500 hp car, unless you live in Wyoming? every city in this country is increasingly congested with cell phone toting soccer moms....350 in these cars is PLENTY
more people are going to end up dead pumping their ego
I'll stick with the YZF-R1 in the peaceful mountains of NC, and go faster than any of these bloated 500 hp gas guzzling monsters for a whole lot less $$$....you spend all that money for a few precious seconds of running someone on a freeway (illegally), it's kind of dumb
it's the age of excess

You can use that kinda power in lots of the south. Texas and Oklahoma definitely.
Hell, even in NJ you can hit 140 certain highways at night when traffic is sparse......

reliable source (mazda rx7 performance handbook)
ive seen were some say that 400hp on a rx7 is more than enough power. That was true back then. but now these amg 600hp mercedes, 510hp viper, 505hp vette, 400hp isnt enough. (thus the reason why i went with the bridge)

Drive in rain
Provide any sort of protection from an accident
Cool you off on hot days
Warm you up on cold days
Help your back
Carry anything
etc....
I could probably make the list alot longer, but im to lazy. And for the record its not even remotly hard to speed around here. The fastest I've ever gone in my car was on 485 in the middle of the day. Your on your bike would be more likely to end up dead because of a phone toting soccer mom or ego pumping than me in my FD. I'd take the FD over the bike anyday, nobody gives a **** how fast a bike is. Don't EVER compare a car to a bike.
