Hey guys,
So all summer I drove my LS RX-7 around and didn't get any "action".
Right before I put it away for storage I was cruising with a buddy of mine in the passenger seat. We stopped on the highway at a stoplight and what do I see in my rear view? A WS6 coming into the lane next to me. It was an older guy and his wife - the car definitely had exhaust but the cam sounded stock to me. His wife looked at my car and kind of giggled and her husband leaned over to her and I'm sure said something to the effect of "watch me smoke this ricer" not knowing that I, too, had 347 cubic inches of fury under my hood, but with a lot more power in a lighter car (I dyno'd at 400RWHP with that engine and tranny combo (T56))
We pull from the stop light and I heard him getting into it a bit, so I let him go for a car length or two and put it to the floor. Within seconds I had put a few lengths on him and I got the thumbs up at the next stop light :angel:
It's funny, in this car, even with the gigantic cam I had (236/236) people still didn't know that what they were hearing was cam lope, haha. I guess they just assumed I was a ricer with a Rotary (or a 4 banger).
