Son whips dad in closed race
Yea thats right I got my butt handed to me this afternoon from my son who was driving my 760 turob-diesel, I was in a 84 RX7 that we were test driving prior to purcase.
We went to a parking lot after he suggested the race thinking that an older 12A was going to keep up with the Volvo. We had about 1/8 mile of closed parking lot to consume along with additional dirt on the south end, it was for the local ice arena. Anyway we lined up and I dropped my hand as a signal and by the time I got to 2nd he was already into 3rd and coming close to the shutdown... I launched hard in the RX slipping the clutch at 6000 for the first few feet. Felt pretty good but thats about the time I noticed the 760 taillights ahead of me! He will never let me live that one down! 988 |
a 7 losing a drag race to a diesel volvo... I kinda wish I had never heard that.

^ lol FB's arent fast of course it lost to turbo diesel what are you expecting.
|
An RX-7 losing to a diesel is no surprise. They make in spades what rotaries severely lack: torque.
|
I really liked the fact that you were drag racing a car during a test drive. :rolleyes:
|
So did you buy it?...

It's one thing to "punch it" and get an idea how the car runs at WOT; however, it's entirely different to be launching a car from a stop. But whatever, if someone wanted to buy one of my cars, they sure as hell wouldn't be drag racing it to get an idea how fast it is.

lol i see your point it would piss me off for someone to test drive my 7 and drag race it...
|
^ And it would piss me off more if they didn't buy it after they dogged the shit outta it.
