Default rx7

It wasn't the most recent body, but the one before that. He had some aftermarket stuff on it (most noticable was the big exhaust and "slammed" suspension).

I was on the I-405 going north and he's driving like a bat out of hell (switching lanes like mad) as I watch him in my rear view. He pulls up next to me (I also had a passanger, he was alone) and gives me this look and punches it. I was like, "oh hell no". So I proceed to follow him. I get an open lane and punch it from around 75. He tries to catch up, but I just keep pulling. I slow down to let him catch up (we're going about 110 at this point) but he won't. Then one mile later, he exits. His car was fast, but he sure had an attitude problem so he deserved to be beat down.

Good kill. I was half-expecting to read another "I got killed by 3rd generation RX-7" story.

Did it have a hood scoop? I'm wondering if it was a Turbo II or a N/A.

Good kill either way (although the s2k will blow away a N/A, no contest)

I didn't notice. I want to say yes, there was a hood scoop, but I didn't hear a turbo or blow off valve or anything... He was quick, tho.

Had to be a turbo II. You'd wouldn't describe a stock NA as quick You'd beat a stock Turbo II too.

Prolly. Oh well, either way, I'm sure he won't be taunting other S2000s. Gosh I love this car!
