Stick to what you know kumguzzler.

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.

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.........

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?

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 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!

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...

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

.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

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
