3rd gen rx-7

I just got back from seeing Star Wars:Attack of the Clones. When i got there around 11pm I saw this beautiful yellow rx-7 in the lot, so i parked by it. The thing was awesome, it was lowered, with a body kit. I really love these cars. After the movie let out(around 2:30) I walked out to my car and the owner of the rx-7 was getting in, so i decided to talk to him for a minute. He said it had an upgraded exhaust, a computer, and a few other mods. He said it made around 350hp. I thought about asking for a race, but i figured he'd smoke me, so i didn't. I followed him into town, and we went our seperate ways. Do you think i could have won a race?

I think it would have been a driver's race. While he probably has a top end advantage, that IRS probably isn't helping him at all. Its nice to hear of some good looking, and performing RX-7s.

BTW, don't give anything away, but how was SW II?

My friend has a '93 with minor mods. When I raced him (my car was stock)I pulled on him hard off the line. I got a huge grin on my face only to have it wiped off at 80mph when he came walking right by me. I found out that he runs 12.90's.

They are quick...but the autos kind of suck.

Im not sure where you would run.
