Will they never learn

Last night while going home from a friends house an RX7 flies by me on the left going about 60. I'm doing the limit of 45. After he flew by I changed to the left lane (which is where I wanted to be anyway). As we approach a red light he switches to the right lane. I'm thinking to myself, "Naw, he ain't gonna go for it." WRONG! As the light turns green he dumps the clutch and starts squealing the tires. I can't resist. Even though I wasn't prepared for it, I decided what the hell, tromp on the loud pedal and proceed to beat him across the intersection, where I let off. He comes up and gives me a thumbs up out the window and flies off down the road.

Um, the RX-7's rotary isn't reliable in the long run, but it can make some awesome power in the meantime until it blows. Not to mention that the car is about 2800lbs, anywhere from 400lbs to 900lbs lighter than your average Fbody. 700+rwhp out of 1.3L isn't anything to laugh at.

You found a stock one, they arn't all stock.
