Default 408ci Trans Am vs Modded RX-7

Here's an old video of my buddy in his 408ci T/A vs a modded RX-7.
The T/A's clutch was a Spec 3i that was on it's last leg, and was slipping pretty badly. Also, he was on stock LS6 intake manifold and throttlebody, and had "small" 1 3/4th Pacesetter Headers.
The RX-7 has every bolt-on with the stock twins, and has a built motor from Gotham Racing.

Here's the vid!

He has a good clutch in it now... Textralia Exoskel. That and a lot more stuff... needless to say, it's rediculously fast at the moment.

T/A now makes 45more whp with better gearing, traction, and 200lbs lighter... needless to say it's a very different outcome now.


exhaust on my car in vid is no muflers/no cats dumped at rear axle.
