Ha! He thought he might win. Him and his rotary engine. Nope. Nada. Maybe he would've been more of a fight if he had a turbo on it... without the turbo his car makes 143hp. *cry* Being a 300lb lighter car didn't make up for it. Neither did his touted 50/50 weight distro. Poor fool.

 

unless your driving a l69 it should be a good race

the numbers are 146hp also
and 300lbs lighter is wrong also

it is around what 3400lbs for you car?
and these things are rated at around 2625 for the lightest up to about 2750 or so
you do the math


as for the 50/50 weight distro... wait till the turns and you will see what it does for ya


thank you. come again

 

turning is fun but going as fast as you can in a straight line is funner and in this case the rx7 lost it as simple as that

 

don't disagree that he lost

but unless he is running an l69 he doesn't have much room to talk really

kinda like if I beat a honda civic DX with my car


I'm still slow



and the turns vs. straight line I say is a matter of opinion

straight line to me is not as much of a challenge, last too short of a time and just not my cup of tea

I want something that takes the whole package and makes it last longer

 

Third generation F-bodies usually come out to 3100-3200 lbs... my '84 tipped the scales around 2980 according to the stock weight minus a few items. So 3400 is a pretty high projection (Many L98 cars came out to 3400 and that's about it)

 

ok that was my fault

 

Heh I'm just a nit picker...

Now my '97 is a whole other story... 3300+ lbs for just a stripper 3.8L car... talk about a pig!

(of course at ~220 Hp and no hesitation to run straight to the 6300 RPM rev limiter it helps me endure the 30 MPG )
