I just looked up the specs for a stock RX7 Turbo.
Horsepower: 255 hp @ 6500 rpm
Torque: 217 ft-lbs. @ 5000 rpm
Bran new from the factory back in 95' they ran 14.0 at 99 mph for there best.
Now RX7s are known for problems. This one did not show any problems, body was in mint condition and no smoke. The fact is he lost to me, and the camaro. If he had a leaky turbo, and a extra passenger like he did, that would make it possible for me to beat him which I did 4 times!

Now I've heard it all.
Was the RX7 smoking?
Did it have problems revving past 6000rpms?
Did it have a vacuum leak?
Was the ports stuck closed?
clogged cat?
Was the driver starting in 5th?
Was the rx7 going the other way?
These are the only reasons you would beat a RX7.
A somewhat decent driver (which russ is) in a 00-01 Maxima against a ??somewhat decent driver?? in a good running RX7 (all FDs are TT, in case some of you didn't know) would spell death to the Maxima.

ok a couple of things are going on here..
a) Russ is calling BS on his own kill story
b) Russ realized the story he made up was a bit too far fetched and has decided to re-vamp the story and add a couple twists to it..
c) I like drama

The guy in the camaro, his name is Derick, go to www.texasracingscene.com under s.a., and ask for him. I am sure he will post.

I wouldn't exactly say better... you sure seemed nervous that one night I ran you when I kept pulling on you all though my midrange. I loved being a car ahead of a 5th Gen at around 115 or 120.

Until a 4th gen walks my *** I will not be any different. Today I have beaten 8 4th gen Maximas, most of the modded more than me. You have yet to show proof that the car will beat a 5th gen. Have a stock vs stock challenge at the track and see who wins. Come down and run me if you think your so fast.. I dare you.

Heheh, Russ, if I remember and I'm sure you remember, we ran 3 or 4 times that night, after the gas station, I stopped racing because we were approaching a hill. Each time I pulled you. Too bad there are no videos, that would have owned. You 5th Gens do have 30 more horses than us 4th gens, so go suck your thumb. Besides if this Variable Intake turns out to work, you're going to be having one hell of a time with us.

oh , ok so now it's a mod thing I see. When you race , do you find yourself saying, if I spent $$$ on mods my car would be faster?
do you want v-8's to take off 2 spark plug wires so you can feel even?
When you race , do you decline because someone has more mods than you?
2000 maxima has 30 more hp than I do.. so what... I still race them. they can do to thier car the same I can.
So when you CHOOSE to race your saying Here is my car beat it if you can.
If you loose you can't say he has more mods.. sounds like
to me

Whats the ****** joke? Its not a good idea to use 1/4 mile times to judge a cars rolling performance, you'll never get it right.
If you don't like the posts, don't read them. Isn't that what everyone always says?
If I called BS on every post that was BS, I'd be on here all the damn time. You guys need to stop cyber racing all the time and stop running your mouths.

I read the original post, and I don't understand why this isn't believable? If Russ said he smoked a Viper or something, that would be hard to believe.
The BS is everyone telling him he is full of it. I've seen this almost every "kill" post there is. I don't get it. If you don't believe it, so what?

Russ puts 4 cars on a car 1 second faster than him? i smell BS.. but thats just me..
