You are a twit. Think of all the v8's out there, all of them. Now do you honestly believe more than 1 in a 1000 will have a better power-to-weight ratio than a 685 rwhp FD?

Stick to what you know kumguzzler.

Edit: btw, your username and reference to "nutrider" imply an infatuation with "pinknuggets."

 

chrispeeds car will prob do high 9s low 10s in the 1/4 with slicks.That is freakin fast for any street fd .Ls1 guys ,(tell the truth) arent you all a little jealous that his rotary can run circles around all of the vaunted ls1 swap guys on this forum.what will i hear next from you,your ls1 will run for 1,000,000 miles w/o a rebuild? LOL!!!

 

there is a guy with an ls1 swapped fc thats gone 10.85 i believe thats only with a nitrous cam and a 200 shot of nitrous, rest of motor is stock.

 

There is more to rx-7s than just a rotary. if the engine was the only thing that made that car special then... you guys are right and srt-4s aren't neons........different engine.

We (V8/RX7) put a different engine in the same chassy because we think the characteristics of that engine are better suited to our driving habits.

I will commend this car on pulling like a mother at highway speeds, but its only got 200hp at 5000 rpm. You have to really drive the **** outta that engine to feel its potential. I bet its awesome fun to feel it pull harder and harder and harder as you go from 5600-8500 but at the same time you would need to drop 2 gears to pick up speed. instead of just leaning into the gas pedal. I had to say something. I'm not 100% close minded on rotary's, some are great. I'm just speaking from my own stand point of how I feel an engine should perform.

 

Nope. I ran a 10.78 on pump gas, cam only and a 100shot in my FD. He has a fast car no one denies it.

His car runs on race gas (C16)....now mine runs on race gas (C12).....I bet I can beat him all motor...if not I will spray a small shot. Its just a POS LS1.

If he wants to get in line behind ErnieT, I will be more than happy to see who runs circles around who.........

 

There better be a video for that.

 

When he pulls a Brian Hinson and makes a 8.8 second 1/4 pass on pump gas, you let me know... And crispeed already said this was not his car bud.

 

you said it first. BAN

 

v8's

 

Sick car man. I take nothing away from it.


<---v8 guy here.

 

Funny you should say that, I seem to remember a guy doing a 26B 4 rotor in a Vette...I'll see If i cant find it.

 

HAHAHAHHAHAHA The soul of a rotary is the motor...wow ya ****** think so?

 

I was also being defensive earlier, not due to the V8 swap your doing (I do like nice Ls-1 swaps) but the fact that you came out speaking of other cars that would beat this one, like a typical internet guru. PDViper77 said it best. I was pissed you subscribed to this thread to seemingly just talk crap about it. I see now that wasnt your full intentions, and once you talked crap to me, without even a running car, that was quite an ******* thing to do. So it went from there. Good luck with the LS-1!

Also, are you really planning on using nos? I need to know, so I can throw in a bottle in sept, otherwise we can run all- rotor vs. all- motor.

 

I'll probably do a 100 shot, but not until I see how traction limited the car is on the motor. Either way, we'll get legit. runs in. I'll even disconnect the bottle if you'd like.

 

LOL

why don't you quit being an irrelevant-number racer like all the honda guys with their HP/L and HP/weight, and stfu so the rest of the internet doesn't have to see how re-re you can be.

you fit my nutrider statement like a glove.

Is that weaksauce attempt at a personal insult all you got? wow, please... don't make a lame *** joke about my screen name......... anything but that...

 

Hey Crispeed, I have to say, after reading ALOT of things you had to say over the years, and help you have given others, you seem like a REALLY cool guy. Hopefully someday I'll see you at a meet or something! I like the work put into this car as well.

On a side note, on this forum, do you pronounce your name "Chris-speed" or "Cry-speed"?

 

He's talking about curb weight to rwhp ratio, which is pretty relevant to the subject.

 

Yep, so long as we're looking at average RWHP for the powerband, it is one of the BEST indicators for a street race where traction is generally not a problem (meaning roll not dig). Dig (track or otherwise) obviously introduces a lot more variables.

 

I agree. The powerband is the relevant area, and once this rotary-powered FD gets on full boil, the results are impressive--it's making over ~500 rwhp from 6k rpm to 9k rpm. That's a pretty damn good average in my book for a car peaking at 685 .

As an aside, lots of ugliness and dick-swinging in this thread. Seems like a lot of the kiddies have popped out of the woodwork

 

 

 

So are you going to run ole Ernie when his car is done? Should be done by the 26th going to Atco

 

Get some video of this race.

 

I saw your post on 305sr

You made good numbers on the dyno, but to be honest it meens nothing to me till you win some races. I would imagine that car is next to impossible to launch. Mad props to the driver if he can launch it.



There is a guy locally who has a FB with a 5.0 in it and its a pretty damn quick car, (the guys on 305sr mentioned him) I would love to see you guys run from a dig.

It deff would be the ultimate v8 rx7 vs rotary RX7 showdown

It sure seems so!
