Default Race against RX-7 (side by side video)

I was looking for a race and came across this RX-7. I went up and talked to the guy to see if he wanted to run. He agreed and said he wanted me to run on motor. I let him know the bottle was staying on tonight. I asked what he was running and he said 7.70s (small motor, small turbo). So, I assumed this meant he was probably running 7.2s at least. I let him know I've been running 6.9s all night and the last pass was a 6.89 as it was cooling off. So, I agreed to give him the hit and I'll come off the Tbrake when I see him go.


I don't know about you guys, but I don't think this is a 7.70 car

Enjoy! (Watch in HD)

Would have been interesting if he could have stayed in it.

I think he was having tranny issues and getting it to shift.

Not really. It was at the end of the night. I started loading up my car and he put his back on the trailer.
