Default *hangs head* Cap'n I needed more power!

well... got killed last night... by one of those rare hondas. was one of those lil hatchbacks, no body kit, just lowered with rims. Oh yeah and a turbo you could hear clear as day. was a freeway pull didn't lose too bad but still lost. Damn him and his better power to weight ratio . But as said before I respect a well built import. This one wasn't over the top and performed well. It was a rare example.

Now, if you had your nitrous kit installed, the story may have been a little different.

hehe, almost happened to me once, Was a RX7 and he kept close until 120, if I wan't in my power area he may have pulled on me. Seen a couple of those Honda's running high 12's with just some wheels and lowered at the track. Normally the ones that look fast are just looks.

It happens. The more you race, the more you risk it. STAY AWAY from the blue Talon! As for RX7s, the 3rd Gens are quite capable of doing in an F-body....

A 100-150 shot makes for an excellent back up plan for not much $$

Watch out for a dark green 3rd gen with half a cage, and a white 3rd gen. both have full bridgeport motors and huge turbos, Trust me I rode in both of them.

Ahh, the blue Talon. I've raced three of them, one several times. All were very close races with me barely closing them out at the big end. Nasty buggers. Of course, there is one Talon running 8.30's out there with slicks on the corners, world record holder I believe, for his class.

3rd gen RX7s and 4th gen Supras are definately the top 2 import cars I would love to have.

**** it would have been a murder. A 150shot on an F-body would have murdered that little bastard.
