RX7 with LS1 Drift Car @ Buttonwillow

My friend Luke's car just got finished a few days before this event. Not too much action but it looks like a pretty mean car.

stock heads (stock pushrods with TR 224 lol.) Rev limit set to 7k with no tach. I'm surprised he didn't bend any pushrods that day.

Wow only a 224 cam. Shows what a good power to weight ratio will do.
After seeing that I can wait to get mine to the track. Too scary winding them up on the street.

^^^ yeah both you guys have sub 3000 pound cars with 4.11 gears, or 3.90 if you have an auto diff. That qualifies as pretty mean to me.

I'm sure it confuses some people...I love rotaries a lot, but something about a fd with a ls engine in it.
