    I do not like the license plate either!!! But.. it is my wifes car and she like it. She is into Boxing and we had called the cars color kermit green. Her mom got the plate at the mall or fea market or something. I might take it off and say its messing up the paint.

    I would love to let you drive my RX-7 you would poop yourself. 1st gear is over before you know what happened. I let my dad drive it and he buried the tach. My S-AFC registered 9,960 RPM!!! I couldn't yell SHIFT fast enough. After that we agreed for him not to floor it in 1st anymore. I...

    Roushe claims 12.3 in the 1/4 on street tires :bs: I used to be afraid of this car until I saw your figures. I am taking my RX-7 out to the track for the 1st time next week. I might go to Bithlo and the dude in the Cobra might tag along. When do you all go there?? Isn't there a...

    Untouchable - What do you run the 1/4 in??? I have a 2000 GT Vert and have run it at Bithlo. It comprable to Erics except its a bit heavier. I guess about 200 lbs. I met a guy yesterday at Sears (we wre both buying floor jacks) He just bought a 2003 Cobra. He went and had it dyno'd right...

    Tell him to get those damn Alteezas off of his car and crap like this will stop happening to him. We all know the big guy is trying to remove his car from the earth. Glad to hear he is o.k. As I read it I was afradi you were gonna say he had to be scraped off of the dash board. He is VERY lucky.

    12.3?? Cool!! That is w/ a professional driver taking many many runs untl he gets it right. So in the real world he will probably run high 12's. It will be a very close race. I was expecting 11's then I wouldn't stand a chance. Now... I have to stall him for about 6 weeks until my engine is...

    Why!!!???? Where is the engine he pulled from it I'll buy it. I wish I would have seen this at the guessing stage I could have won a prize. I recognized the engine bay right away. Ask him if he wants to race me for best time at the next AutoX. To each his own that guy could never...

    I could have walked over I don't know why I didn't. Only thing I can think of is that I was so busy with the car and when I did have a moment I collapsed in a chair for what seems like seconds just to get up again. I had the mechanic with me that did my suspension mods and dialing in. He...
