Me too . Did you sell yours? In about 22 days, I'm redeploying back to Fort Hood and far, far away from this Godforsaken country. Ohhhhh, boy, I can't wait to find my first unsuspecting Viper SRT-10 on the highway

Yeah, I had to sell mine because of financial situations....but now that my money situation is better, I decided to get an S2k....not the same in terms of speed...but believe me, the peace of mind is well worth it.

0 experience? Sorry guy, but I have done it. It is quite obvious YOU don't know what you are talking about. Please review the stage 3 setup, as this i what I had on my car last year. http://m2performance.com/pengpak.htm My car dynoed at 309 rwhp with this setup. A little bit off of there estimate, but thats OK. This is with the stock cat in place. A midpipe should give you between 25-35 rwhp so you do the math.

If you still don't believe me, look at Pettit Racings 60hp package that includes just cold air intake, catback exhaust, and power pully.http://pettitracing.com/sections/Base_System.html


BTW why dont you tell us about all the experiece you have with these cars since you chose to critisize someone when you don't know the facts.

Jesus ing christ. You guys make me sick. I could only read two pages of this shit before I finally got fed up and had to say something.

You RX7 guys (not all of you, but most) are really pissing me to high hell. My s2000 caught fire, so I'm about to pick up an FD this week. And you know what? The way you guys are acting, I don't think I'll ever admit to having any contact with you. And I have had a bit (Same name at rx7club.com)

THERE WAS ONE ING PERSON WHO SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT THE RX7.

And you'd think you got bent over my a guy and taken to town. That ONE guy OBVIOUSLY was a troll. I don't know how many times I've made fun of the S2000 guys for responding to trolls, but you RX7 guys take the cake. Its obvious this guy is just trying to piss you off, and look at how you act? How old are you guys? 5?

Look at all the positive praise for the RX7 everyone else said. (Ignore SHIRI, he doesn't count.) Its a hell of a lot more than anything negative. Most of us realize the FD is faster, and most of us praise it. And you guys come in here and jump our nuts for what reason? Cause we have a troll? Talk about incorrect stereotypes.

Jesus Christ guys. Yes, the stock RX7 is faster, but if it has a bad driver, then an S2000 CAN beat it. I lost to one up in Fort Worth (Hell, Rich, you may know him). Went from a stop. He got a jump of abut a car length and then stayed there the entire way. It was pretty close. He looked like he was running a bit rich, but he said it was in pretty good condition. Traction was an issue for both, but had he been less skilled, I might have been able to keep up. So now what? Am I gonna get MY balls busted because I said anything can happen on the street?

I apologize if this has been discussed in this thread, but I couldn't stand to read anymore.
