True that.

With less than 5 psi they were putting out ~675 rwhp. At 6 psi (3rd run that blew the motor) they were putting down ~725 rwhp, and they're expecting an additional 300 hp with the boost cranked to ???. I have no idea what their budget was but it wasn't small.

I know you wouldn't have wished for that to happen to them, but that's why is Karma.
They treasure their car, as God's gift to the world and they acted like total jerks about it and God/Karma/Tom Cruise/Jewish Guy/Ala/Ophra took it away. LOL

Yea so my guess is the 20b cars and other high powered 13b ones are always broke or to affraid to break them. If I can ever get off work and mine isn't broke for once, I will be going and trying it out. Just sounds to easy and fun not to

Not all cars can be replace, and there are way more humans available and being made than scarce cars.

Oh please, the RX7 can be replaced any time.
Yeah, sure not in a 100 years from now, but it can be replaced.
You are not talking about a Ferrari 250, a BMW M1 or a 507, a Shelby Cobra, an Austin Healey 3000 MKIII, a Buggatti Veyron, a Porsche 959, etc.
The list is too long and I don't see the RX7 in it.
The FOR SALE section is full of RX7 3rd. Gen and it's all about money and time.
Here you go, you even have a choice of color, different year models, plus modded or stock, unlike other UNOBTAINABLE and NOT replaceable Real Classics:https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-rx-7-1993-2002-vehicles-107/



* the day that a car is worth more than a human being, your values are really messed up and the Guy from above will take care of you.

Anyone that races from a roll or only plays on the interstate/hwy this would be the event for you. And it's not max top speed on the salt flats, it's just a standing mile. In this type of event where launching the car doesn't matter, no one but turbo cars have the upper hand
