Talking rx-7(fd) encounter

its saturday night. on my way home from j-town after watching a movie. (saw "Out of Time"- it was pretty good, little cheesy, but ok) so on the way home a little after midnight, a silver rx-7(fd) is behind, its pretty fixed up. so we're on geary blvd. and he's spoolin' like crazy. his car was loud but very very nice. so as went onto park presidio we took off. had the light from fulton and park presidio and went through ggpark. the z was leading throughout the first couple of turns and then we were kinda neck in neck. but there was a damn red light. so we had to stop. as the light turned green we took off again and were pretty close all the way through. as we got onto 19th, we got screwed by slow traffic. so we both slowed down and attempted to talk. throughout the ride, we had two more runs and it was pretty close but had to shut down due to slower traffic ahead. all that damn traffic. too bad wanted to see my z vs. a fixed up fd.

Nice run, mgl. You're running an AT, right? Did you manual shift or keep it in full auto? Nice to hear that you did well in the GG park twists... I've seen many an accident in those parts.

After that note from the BMW forums, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's glad you're okay. Stay safe!

the last turn on cabrillo/fulton is kind of scary. But the road is bumpy through the park. But that sounds scary fun. just imagining the rush!

I have to say the fds is beautiful car also.
