![]() I ran into a guy the other night driving a metallic goldish-tan RX7 FD. I could tell he wanted to play because I could hear him getting on it spooling up the turbo and I could hear a loud blowoff valve. We got alongside each other and he had a grin like he thought he had something on me - it definitely sounded modded. There was some traffic and he had his window down so I just burned out a little in 2nd as we drove along to give him an ear full of Eaton whine (and to heat up my R-compounds
![]() We drove along with traffic for a while and finally turned off onto an empty 4-lane road. We went from about a 35 mph roll with me in 2nd (4.10s, T56) and I gave him 3 honks. I could tell his car was quicker than a stock FD turbo (I have a friend with one that runs high-12s) but I made perfect traction and pulled him like he was a 3rd grade school girl on roller skates. I shut it down shortly after getting into 3rd gear with about 4-5 cars on him already. We went one more time from a roll and this time I even gave him a little jump after my 3rd honk. Same results - RX7 left in the dust. We pulled up to a stop light and all he could say was 'Holy !@$ that thing is fast'. I just grinned and told him V8s like boost too. I revved up to launch from the light and the poor guy just pulled a U-turn and scampered off with his tail between his legs. Nothing like surprising someone who's used to beating up on stock stangs...
