USMCFieldMP vs RX-7
This is a friend's FC RX-7. I forget all the details about his set-up. Larger turbo on 10psi, he said it makes 340hp... I remember that much.
20 Roll - We were both spinning like crazy

45 Roll - Race doesn't actually start until like 35-40 seconds in. He brake boosted, I didn't... had a slight miscue on the take off, as well. No big deal though. I still cleaned up.

Haha, thanks... but it literally only has a 16" piping coming off the turbo. 
I'm waiting on my welder's schedule to free up so that I can get a proper downpipe made and put my Side-Exit back on.
Yeah, its a little beat up. He's getting ready to take the motor out and put it in his good, clean shell.
No. Its not.
Yep... we might have actually started a little bit lower than that... like 40mph. But no biggie.
So do I.
Why? Function > Form
Who gives a **** if the front fender and door have a couple crinkles... it'll waste 95% of the cars on this site. Besides, as said above... the motor is about to go in his clean shell anyway.

FC RX7 gives me wood. If I had one I wouldnt get the body all done up I might put a few dings in it on purpose to make it looks like a POS and have people think its crap but then they would end up seeing my tail lights...one day.

A local just finished his LS1 swap. Cammed LS1 with an A4 trans put out like 450whp. He's thinking about spraying it now, evidently.
A bunch of new guys at the G2G last night didn't think my GTI ran 13's. I was like "That's okay... bring your junk out next weekend. We'll find out."
It may not look pretty... but its 170hp in a stripped out hatch that weighs like 2000lbs.
Meh, bitches. If I wanted a car to impress the ladies... I'd get a German Luxury car.
