Wow, Congratulations Dan!

What did you do differently to get the car from the low 10s to almost mid 9s?

Approximately at what RPM do you finish the quarter mile with the 4.10 gears?

Congrats again, I hope to see more street class Rx7s in the 9s this year with full NHRA weight. See you in Virginia.

Qualiify in the 10s and save those mid 9sec passes for Julie!!!

Anthony

Hi Dan,

that is a crazy fast time, congrats ! I am running one of your old PPFs on my car that I bought from you waaaaaay back when (you were bouncing at a club on Greenville Ave and I met up with you to pick it up).....maybe some of that crazy power will rub off on my FD and I can finally get into the 11s
