Default Me Vs RX7

Was cruising down west chester pike really late at night (do that often...i like to drive around) and rolled up to a red light. I saw a red car pull out from the other street and turn onto the one i was on. The light turned green so i speed up to see what the car was. When i caught up i pulled up next to him and realized what it was, it was pretty pimped out to sounded loud. There was two people in the car obviously the driver and there was a passenger who was looking at me. he was saying something to the driver basically they talked back and forth for a few seconds then i heard him drop it a gear so i dropped it into 4th not realizing what i was getting into. i waited for him to punch it then i followed. we where neck and neck then i started to pull on him but i ran out of 4th so i shifted into 5th and he started to catch up. at this time we where going some god forbidden speed down west chester pike so i backed out. He was a cool dude he got next to me a we gave each other thumbs up and he was yelling "awesome" and "nice" at me. BUT i knew i could beat him by a lot more and i didnt know they where turbo charged untill later. So i rolled up to him again and this time dropped into 2nd going like 45 or 50 i forget. It was freaking LOUD lol. So i waved to him to go again and i lurched forward and let off to make him go first i waited till he was about a 1/2 a car length in front of me then i punched it. Holy crap it hauled ***, this time i spanked him REAL bad. He caught up and asked me if i wanted to pull over and talk i said sure. so we pulled into the movie theater and talked for a bit he showed me the turbocharger on his car. He had a few other mods downpipe and some other **** it was a nice car kept good care of it. His friend was all over my car lol he was telling me to pop the hood and asking me all kinds of questions. when i told them that all i had was headers, Y-pipe and exhaust and some minor other **** they both looked surprised and said it was badass i thanked them. We talked for a bit more then went are own way. both of them where really cool. Was a cool race

Most Rx-7s are nice, actually they all are, it's just some owners.

Nice rx-7 kill. It must have been a Gen-II if it was single turbo. They are quick little cars.
