I knew that allready when Falo told Oso to take it to the moon and the dyno #'s went something like xxxx rwhp!

With OSO at the wheel and tuning only thing left was to figure out the clutch/chassis combination. Hard work eventually pays off.

Falitos car is not in the HP range as Sporty..
His 7.02 is more clutch, 60ft, tunning and most of all tranny "Relacion" ..

Rafaelito Rx-8 New Record

that is not true Rafaelitos car is 2020 with oso the driver and Sporty rx-7 is 1850 with the driver so falitos car is 170 lbs heavier. If his car was 1850 it would run .17 of a second faster 6.85 on the quarter.
