Someone who wants a car that is fast and handles extremly well. I thought you said you knew a lot about cars guess not.

No you seem to think the exact opposite. In every thread regarding a car that is not an F body or muscle car you try to make it look like that car will never lose even if it did. You clutter up YOUR board with YOUR nonsense and YOUR ignorance becasue of a deep seated hatered for anythign that is not a muscle car. In all the threads I have seen you post in people are trying to point out how there are fast imports out there. Of course your witty remarks end up being "ricer" followed by personal attacks. No one in any of those threads has said that a 4 cylinder will always win they are just trying to pointing out your ignorance and one minded thinking.

Now please, so all of a us a favor, and stop polluting this forum with your useless posts.

Haha, now that made you look stupid. You know a lot about cars, yet you ask who puts an LS1 in a RX-7? Anyone who knows anything about cars have either heard or read about that swap. Who puts an LS1 in a RX-7? I don't know, what about these guys?

Have you ever heard of Hot Rod's Pump Gas Drags? Watch it, you'll see an RX-7 close to the top.

Some of the idiots who put LSX motor in RX7s:

http://www.hinsonsupercars.com/

Aditionally, I seem to remember a certain 302 powered FC RX7 running mid 11s and killing the whole feild in the last GRM $2005 challenge. That guy looked pretty smart murdering cars in both the 1320 and autoX on the same day on a $2005 budget.

A car tht can run C5 Z06 ETs with near stock LS1 power levels does not sound idiotic to me. It would be hard to call the guys running these idiots at all considering you would be screaming it at rapidly receding tailights.
(Sarcasm set to Kill)
Oh yeah, and I guess a huge portion of the hybrids section of this site is for morons. Who needs a sleeper capable of snapping of 10s all day anyway? thats just lame.

Ahhh...it needs a few mods before I get it to the track again.
It's doing fine though. I need a new racegas/high boost/nitrous
tune too. I really want to see what she'll do with the solid axle
out back. I'm goig to really be aggressive with the car this year.
If the motor lets go, it let's go.

we have a domestic ricer on are hands. i also drive a lt1, but don't let all the ricers fool you. there's some fast, small displacement motors. seeing the little mods you have there's tons of eclipses that could take you. even on the stock turbo.

yea like know 90% of those eclipses wont run with a ls1. these jerks get these fast furious cars and think it will be easy and cheap to mod then they find out its not. second. if their is a 7 second eclipse then it must be tfastest eclipse in the world. and in that case lets take the fastest ls1...ls1 wins eclipses hurt because their not light. esp the last 4-5 years of eclipses are not light at all. ive wasted so many eclipses its not funny. and im not tlaking about in the TA. in my V8 GP i wasted 2 differened new GT eclipses. mabe 1 out of 20 will be decently fast the rest have intake fart can and a body kit weighing it down LOL

Its alot more common to see a fast f-body or mustang then a four banger rice burner. The f-body and mustang are a fast car from the factory. You dont have to think twice weather they are fast or not its just not a question. Having a fast ricer is possible and has done over and over again its not in any more. Back to American Muscle now. Ie new camaro, 500hp vette, new cobra soon, gto etc.

They stopped making good Eclipses in '99 when they did away with the 4G63. The 3rd Gens are dogs. 1st gens are the best IMO as the 2nd Gens geet "riced out" to often and are heavier. Watch out for those looking 1G turbo's!
