Exclamation Turbonetics Z vs Bolt-on RX7 Video

I raced this guy in an RX7 and beat him last week. He tuned his car this week to 311whp (2700lbs) and so of course I set up a rematch. Here is the outcome -----> http://videos.streetfire.net/video/7...E398F0BD12.htm He did better than the first time at least

You killed him but the initial pull I was thinking it would be harder.

He did very well for pretty much pushing his stock snails to the limit. The 2nd run I was brake boosting very slightly seemed to make a good difference in the initial pull.

Ok Alberto i have a couple of ?'s what gear is the X-7 on the roll. My brother has an X-7 and in both car stk I can be in 3rd he is still crusing in high 2nd and his boost kicking in when as soon as he hits the gas then it is a pretty even race till high in my 4th gear. But great kill hope to see more from you.

We were both in 2nd gear, the 2nd run I started at like 45mph which is GREAT powerband the ST has nasty midrange TQ.

Why? Because of the power difference? His car weighs 2700lbs, mine is over 3300lbs with the TN kit. His power to weight it 6.68 lbs/hp mine is 6.33lbs/hp pretty damn close if you ask me. Driving is priceless

Yes we both had passengers filming the runs. BTW I know a lot of you dont check out the street racing section but stop over and see the video between me and a 515whp 03' Cobra

I saw that one too and big props to you on hanging with that cobra. I also love the "well you can still mod a cobra way cheaper" excuse certain members use over there.

^^ Yeah you have to expect $hit like that so I dont let it bother me...we all know that Cobra was faster but we all also know that guy was outdriven and held off to beating me by 1/2 car at best
