haha I wish it was that easy....5mph is a TON! People with some cars get that much out of a cam swap...

I document this a while back. Rotary engines take to airflow and exhaust mods more than piston engines do. Having a turbo makes it all that much greater. I have probably 80 timeslips from last year. I had documented what my airbox would do stock and when I rammed air into it. I also found that a full exhaust on my car did not live up to its full potential unless I rammed air into the intake. Like it or not its true. Also, keep in mind my car weighed in 2712 at the track +150 lb driver, so 5 MPH is about 30-32 HP.




btw - that bs about ws6's and ss's being faster than trans am's and z28's and whatnot is BS. they are all equal for the most part


you need to get a clue
Im no expert on TA's, I just read somewhere that the WS6 was a little faster. Maybe its not, thats cool.

Thats whats great about my car, I can play the twisty game or run the strip.

You only use the "ricer" term for a great handling car cause your car cant handle. Too bad you cant appreciate the abilities of other cars.

It's not that I don't appreciate their abilities, it's just that, well, I really don't care.

I know the WS6 are a bit faster than the SS, I would guess even though it has 200 lbs of plastic attached to the door panels, the ram air makes a big difference.

later.
If you can find "200 lbs" of plastic attached to my door panels you can stick it up your rearside....lucky for you ....you aren't going to find ANY.

I'm sorry I don't own a RXslow7 that looks like a squashed up Volkswagen Beetle.....hey when you start blowing seals on your rotary have fun replacing them......I hear they are expensive

Basically attacking how my car looks is really STUPID....well what more did i expect from you....so maybe i could repay the favor?

Ok i'll start.....we can have a poll.....whose car looks nicer here? I'll put the quality of my paint etc. OVER yours any day....
remember i didn't start this crap.....YOU did.
Front View ( which you will never see)

Rear View (which i'm sure you are familiar with)

Yeah check out your reflection there cool guy.....and when you see somthing worth arguing about come back and try again.

Good night.
