Default RX-7's with LS motors - a unique perspective

I know that there are a couple of these cars running around at Road America from time to time, apparently the idea has been around for a while. Since WWII for a matter of fact, here is Hitler's take on the subject.

I got this YouTube clip sent to me from a friend.

Now that's funny I don't care who you are!!

Thanks!

Having taken a ride in a LS6 converted RX7, I totally understand Mien Fuhrer's feelings. Torque rules !

Hilarious! The 3rd gen fd rx7s are gorgeous looking cars...too bad i'd never buy one because of the rotary. LS swap though, now we're talking...

My roommate has a bolt on LS6 in his FD... with a M12 ratio T56 and 4.11 gears among other things. HAULS @@@ Great street car the way he has it setup. Heck, his car is actually painted Victory Red.

There are two FD LSx cars out at a track I belong to, they can get out and scoot VERY fast.

When you can weigh 2400 lbs, sit barely off the ground, and be hellaciously mod friendly (rotard OR torque)... it can make a Y-Body look like a pig and worthless.
But our cars come with the reliability mod stock though.

Having owned an RX7, RX8 and 07 C6, I can relate. This is really funny. I also agree with the sympathetic lady in this that thongs help

Thanks Joel I just wasted a hour of my life watching all these. There is a ton of them on Youtube.

Randy
I hope when he shot himself that he missed and spent days bleeding and intense pain.
