Default RX7's, they don't really get it

Had a funny thing happen the other day, my buddy I was helping move had me drive his Chevy Luv that has gone 9.84 (I think that is what it did, possibly a 9.82 or 9.86, it was a few months back when we were at the track) quarter mile with the old cam, from one house to the next. Not long after we get it in the new garage a guy at the end of the street gets his RX7 out with stock everything and smokes the tires and whips it around and drives it into his garage and stands outside waiting for reactions, I mistakenly thought it was a lawn mower.

And, because I didn't want to start a new thread, I just finished the metal work and painting the bottom, 12 point cage, trunk and floors and tubs in my '72 Camaro, and it is awesome. The thing looks fast sitting still, and the new floors, transmission tunnel and metal work underneath is incredible with all the bead rolling, if I don't say so myself. It would be worth a picture but it is not very photo genic in DP90.

And about the neighbor, I think he would welp like a small dog if the truck was only reved by his car. With the new cam, we are having trouble keeping it stuck to the ground in second gear with the Mickey 18's x 33's, 5.13 rear with a powerglide. The new cam has given us new traction issues.

RX7s rotory motors are the worst sounding things next to fart can civics. They have a zipperish sound and im no fan plus thy are so unreliable its not even fun.

I know all about the 3 and 4 rotors, and no they do not change a thing for me. They are unreliable have no low end at all. granted the 3 and 4 rotors are fast even NA but id much rather drive something other than a rx7 with a rotor motor
