Default Stock suspension RX7
Finally got a pic worth sharing thanks to Ryan with 1320video. This pic is from a little street racing event in Omaha a couple weeks ago:



Thats stock suspension on 255 wide drag radials. Stock rear diff, everything.

And heres an old pic from drag week 2011.



clusterf*ck of an engine bay for those who are curious...



Hoping for a 9 second pass in topeka in the next few weeks.
