Default The truth slips out.

I was talking to one of my cardiology collegues today and asked if he had gotten a chance to drive a Z06 yet. He replied "no, but I have tried to up with several and had no success". He drives a Rx-7 TT (96?)(modded, but not sure what) and frequents mid-ohio, VIR, etc. :cheers:
Honesty is great.

Give him a run. 3rd gen RX7s (93-95) without going single turbo, converting the stock twins to non-sequential along with increasing the boost, can put down roughly 350rwhp depending on the other mods. At that stage with drag radials and a decent driver you're looking at mid-low 12s. Maybe even high 11s. If he doesn't even have that much, then you will tear him a new rear end. :yesnod: Although, if he has gone single turbo then he can easily put down over 400rwhp and give you a pretty good run for your money. 3rd Gen RX7s are still one of my favorite cars of all time. With the right tuning and mods, it's a little rocket.
