LSx FC RX-7 vs. WS6 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
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).

Nice kill and nice wolf in ricer attire. sure gives a new meaning to the word hybrid. I love sleepers. Had a 1980 Pontiac Sunbird back in the day with a 327 4speed and shortened 10 bolt posi. Caught a **** load of people roll racing before it was called roll racing. Twisted the subframe on it the first pass on slicks. How'd you tie the frame together?
