Default Me vs. SBC RX-7 (video evidence)
A buddy from work and I decided to go tear up the streets after work last night before he starts to tear down and make the car faster. The video explains it all. Enjoy!

Negative on the nitrous... I'm seriously thinking about it. I think 100 shot would put this pig into the 12's.

Yeah... he was pulling pretty decent then I let off when he got to the middle of the front door. My times were not on street tires I run 255/50/16 BFG radials at the strip.

nice race my buddies single turbo supra used to pull on me like that on top end..

with the 255/50/16 BFG's and 100 shot you will be in the 12's easy.

I ran a 13.0something with a 50 shot, cai, and weight reduction.
