Depending on your mounting configuration, S&S Headers PN 5205 may work...

Believe it or not, Friday will be the 9th anniversary of the last time that car ran under its own power.

just raced an RX7 turbo, in the internet said car is a 14.9 second car, I think he said s4, that was just rebuild, the rebuild was just new seal and things like that, ported the hole to the combustion chamber bigger so it will be like the next step up engine I guess, Cold air intake and K&N filter, not sure if he had any other mods. I was just wondering what kind of horespower do you think it has?

Ohh yeah I lost, but side by side about a bumper before we had to slow down and bogged the launch off. 1993 Camaro Z28 stock except for an MSD Blaster Coil as far as I know, When I bought the car it had about 125,000 miles. Should I have beaten him?

Depends a lot on how much boost he was running.

See above. It could easily have been a 12-second car with a ported engine and enough boost. His car is also considerably lighter than yours and has more aggressive gearing.

Plenty of those around, not so much with the 3rd gen.

13,879 were imported into the U.S., and only an estimated 6,000 or so are still on the road. Make that one less as of yesterday, and this one was LS1 powered.





The driver and passenger are fine, BTW. These cars do hold up amazingly well in collisions.

Apparently, they were racing another (single turbo rotary) 3rd gen. RX-7 and lost control. The driver was uninjured, from what I understand, and the passenger just had a sore knee. It could have been much, much worse, obviously.
