Took down a Z06 in a buddys 1st gen
Got to drive my friends RE swapped FB for the past 2 days, and I was driving back to his place at around noon today. A black C5 Z06 with what looked and sounded to be piped, cam, and probably a couple other little things, pulled up next to me in a gas station and revved at me as he slowly passed by. I was leaving anyway, so I followed. Got on the highway, and he fell way behind, so I figured he wasnt interested in playing around. Well, after about 2 minutes, hes right on my ass, then pulls around to the right side of the car. Dropped a gear, I did the same. And went from about 60-120. I had him by about 3 lengths. Did another run a little later, had a car on him by about 90mph. Then I let off cause I needed to exit.
The FB: RE swap Mild Streetport TO4S Meth Injection Gutted ETC. 15psi Not sure about how much power the 7 makes. But it sure felt quick. |
Not surprised, that car prolly weighs under 2000 pounds.
What kind of retard in a newer vette revs at a 25 year old (presumably) slow ass rx-7? |
lol

But this one had 2 plastic seats bolted down, and thats it, no sound deadening, sheet metal dash (Which must have had a few bolts missing in it, cause that bish rattled like a mofo, Stock fuel tank was still in it. But other then that, the floors had been replaced and new seats were bolded down, no carpet or anything. Lexan hatch and drivers window, for some reason, no passenger window at all. Yeah, Im sure its was light as all hell. I think he revved because the 7 had an open downpipe, so it sounded loud. And ya know, loud car = fast car! haha |
Also, any ideas on power for that 7? Streetported, TO4S, 15psi.
Atleast a ballpark of what it might be at? He hasnt dyno'd it, and is being a little bitch, cause hes worried the results will be lower then he expected. So whenever somebody asks what it makes for power, he says between 300 and 500. haha! |
it has a rew in it right? I think the 400 whp mark wouldnt be an overly impossible goal with that thing he should most deffinatly dyno it..
sounds like a straight up drag car..pics or it didnt happen! haha jk but pics would be sweet |
Road racing build up. I was guessing around 375-400 as well.
You live in Hudson. Come over to Minneapolis in a few weeks when the car is finished (exhaust, brakes, cage, etc) And you wont need pictures. He said he wants it finished by the end of August. I guess theres some event at Road America the second weekend in September he wants to make it to. |

To say I felt invisible driving her is an understatement..:egrin: Always loved to see their faces as I drove by them like they were standing still. WISH it was still mine but I got into an FD so I sold her off for building $$$$ L8R |

I have 353rwhp and I beat a TII with just over 400. The guy is scratching his head trying to figure out what is wrong with his car till I tell him that mine weighs 2,300lbs and he is in shock. General rule of thumb: Newer cars are heavier unless the designers went way out of their way to keep the weight down. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RX7 |
