Default Camaro vs. RX7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9CeAZz_6nw
Me running this local guy with a built up RX7.
Turbo Rotary Engine, BIG Turbo..

Both started at 65, I topped out at 130.

Camera car was a '06 GTO with the windows partially down to catch the sound.

That 408 was tryin..lol..that RX7 is a nasty car.
