Default anyone ever race a twin turbo rx7

I got called out by a guy with a twin turbo rx7, its kinda like the one that vin diesel was driving in the first fast and furious. The guy supposedly beat a z06, I then said a new one and they said yes.. But being that the guy is from a small town, and there isn't any in the city I doubt it was. I'm sure the guy has some mods but don't really know how many. I know the guy use to have a hatch back gutted to hell, that use to be somewhat fast for a 4 cylinder. My mods are everything you could possibly think of for a n/a motor, I also have a nice shot that isn't quite yet finished. I'm in need a of stand alone to finish it up. So lets here your guy's stories about these cars... They also think I just have a cam since they really don't know to much about your cars, one of the guys said he built a fully built ls1 that had pistons, heads, cam, and a tuner. The guy said he be him a crx that has some bs honda motor in it. I don't really listen, cause I know it would take a nice sized turbo 4cyl to run a fully built ls1 down...

TT usually means it's stock turbos = slow. Most of the faster/modded ones move up to a larger single turbo.

yeah I know i would be able to kill him with the nitrous but I kinda want to race him now.. on just the motor... I'm not really sure where i'm at cause my tires were spinning the rollers on the dyno, then they got really sticky and made my dyno graph look like a rocky mountain... but i'm think somewhere above 450

if u have nitrous an bolt ons should be easy to beat him, unless he has a lot of
stuff done to his, those rotary engines are quick *** hell even tho they are real small

i ran a turbo supra when i had my ss an barely beat him by half a car an that was
a single turbo it had exhaust, manifold, boost controler, headers, idk what other stuff..an
it was hard for me to beat him..

but idk your car sounds mean if u have that done

hmmm.....I dont know why we always post up wondering if we can beat a 4cyl car. Damn guys, we sound like lil bitches. Don't under estimate your ls1, I mean damn, we act like we're driving a mustang gt or something.just go out and do it. if we get beat, well then there's nothing else to do but to give the other guy props,but keep in mind all the money he had to spend just to beat your lsx....


SSmokiny2k buddy has a 400hp turbo Supra (97 or so) . we were at a bbq at his house and bryce ended up calling me out to race his friends supra. I must admit i was a lil scared i was going to loose since he had a lighter car putting down a lil more power than mine.We ended up racing from a 55 mph roll to 130mph. from the jump I had 1 1/2 car on him till towards the end I had him by a full car. So I pretty much pulled him by a car. Moral of the story is dont doubt your car, just go out there and tear a new *******

Luis your an idiot LOL.
1st: RX-7's are dual rotary engines, not 4 cyl.
2nd: Supras are heavier, have IRS, and you make almost 400 hp yourself with a much newer, and advanced drivetrain.

My friend has a 93 RX-7. He has bolt ons, and stock TT. My mods are in my sig. I beat him without a challenge. Just race him in a straight line, cus he'll take you around the corners.

Yea, if he has the mods he stated, then you have nothing to worry about.

Hmm it's interesting reading some of the other responses. I set up a run with a TT RX-7 (F&F year/body style) against a friends cammed m6 C5. Clearly the rex was modded and aside from the boost controller, he was real tight lipped.

C5 barely got him on a 70-140 roll. Jus be careful and be very sure of what he has done. I stopped underestimating sub compacts with FI a long time ago. When they're built right they can be deadly...

Good luck!
