    Did any of you hear what Mr. Martin car club (driving the Z06) did to me on Sunday?? I had layed down a time 1 sec faster than him in the 1st heat. In the second heat he went before me and had me by 0.70 seconds. As I was getting ready to pull up to the staging line he stuck his head in my...

    Actually - I had my ass handed to me by a '00 GT with a Diablosport Chip and Steeda Cat-back I was in my RX-7 and MTV was filming the race. This was about 2 months ago. I thought my RX-7 was fast but always thought my GT was faster this confirmed it. It was ugly for me. The GT had me by about...

    Check out this video of a Corvette destroying a AWD Talon. Listen to these ricers, they first look at the vette and say look he is scared. About 2 seconds after that you'll laugh your butt off as the vette sucks out their headlights. http://www.mysfits.com/videos/vette2.WMV

    Yeah I am getting pissed too!!! I am starting to have second thoughts about this club. They are looking for new directors. We should do it. I would set it up a lot like the Gulfcoast one. There were a lot of people at Sebring from other clubs and they were amazed at how disorganized it was...

    Can any of you guys tell me when the next AutoX event is being held in Palm Bay. Either Martin or SCCA. Also I learned about this place and I plan on attending this fall. It is an AutoX workshop. Lots of driving time with tons of instruction. I find the local SCCA lacking as far as good...

    The funny part is after I pulled over it turned out to be a State Trooper driving a brand new Camaro, I would venture a guess and say its got some get up and go. ......It just would have taken a few more turns than anticipated.:D BTW - The Camaro I was racing was a 91, tricked out, so he...

    I got pulled over last Friday night for drag racing a Camaro in my RX-7. I thought for a split second about taking off from the cop. I had about a 1/8 mile headstart on him. He didn't have my tag # yet. I thought about it. I know after a few turns he would have been toast. Burn that onto a...

    I thought my day sucked!! Sorry White hope it turns out to be a cheap repair. I was on my way home from looking at a Turbo RX-7 that Matt might buy I was driving my RX-7 and a tricked out F-body Camaro was playing with me. We were in a construction zone so I waited until we turned onto a...

    you misunderstand my statement/question. At what speed do you aerodynamically need the downforce from a wing?? My RX-7 is very stable all the way to 150 mph - I havent been faster than that yet. I would consider a front air dam first keep the air from under the car. My $0.02 Really...

    At what speed do you need a big wing. I am thinking over 120 mph --- yes -- no????

    I'm not sure but it might be a 6cyl on top of it all.

    How about the 2 stage big ass wing?? Or the slammed suspension and I wish I had a back view but I suspect it look really bad from behind. I do not like the body kit either.

    I managed to get two runs in. 1st one I ran a 14.76 and on the second one I ran a 14.40 I had my tires overinflated when I took them off I could see there was an inch on each side that never touched the track. My 60' times could have been 0.20 seconds faster. Next time.... Dad ran a 14...
