Smoked a gen 3 RX7?

Took a rx through 4 gears...does that make sense? He wouldnt play at the first light but he jumped with me at the second. By the time I shifted into 4th I had a car length and a half on him. I dont know what mods he had but he was running a blow off valve.
I would have though that the last gen rx should have taken me?!?!?

Is the g faster or did that driver just suck?

either way it was fun

Is that the one you're talking about?

In that case, you were obviously a better driver.

I wonder if he may have had his boost turned down not thinking our ride is so fast...he looked real pissed off that I had to exit before he had another chance at me. either way it was fun

Your name implies you're a father. Nice example to set for your kids.

Who said you can't have fun when you're old...
I'm pretty sure the kid(s) weren't in the car...and if they were, no comment.

I bet you caught him not reving to 18,000 rpm required to launch those things right. Goes to show that HAVING a faster car doesn't mean you can drive the car faster

I figured, but I just thought I'd point it out so the kids don't start quoting fantasy numbers.

Don't forget guys, that most RX7s Turbos are probably been ragged on by now and old with high mileage. So they won't perform as good as they use too.
