Default very impressive RX-7

I just found this on streetfire. Never realized the rpms that those rotary motors are capable of! Import or not this is impressive

I watched the fly-by vid and that thing is nasty. Reading the info in the posts it seems that the car has a lot left in it. 11K rpms is pretty crazy...those rotaries can be crazy when built right. The sound reminds me of a formula race car.

they can be crazy, but they lack in the reliability department. And if i remember correctly, peripheral ported rotaries like that one are very hard to make streetable, i may be wrong though.

708 rwhp at 13psi on 93 octane and he says the powerband goes well beyond 11k, they just havn't gone there yet.

That 14k rpm redline tach is a weird thing to see
