N/a Rx-7

[Halon]

I never seen this before. Sorry if its been posted before. But this is a N/A Rx-7 with 590 hp at 8500rpm. No boost, no N02. Pretty awesome i think. Thing sounds like a damn crotch rocket

Definately sounds more wicked that a crotch rocket. Sounds like a radio control nitro boat with gear changes. The first video is the best one. Wonder why they don't show what it ran?

i found those videos on evolutionm. It says on there that the thing is a 10 second street car. I wonder what their definition of a "street car" is, because that thing barely idles and is loud as hell. Not something I'd wanna drive around on the streets I can tell ya that! It's got a 4 rotor engine. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm guessin it has 4 of those lil triangle rotory thingies in the engine.

The 4-rotor engine is what Mazda uses in their Le Mans car... It's nutty.

So do they even have a factory-backed endurance racecar anymore?

funny, how can they bann it? why? these days it seams you have to walk slower with the criple even tho you can run just because it is unfair to everybody else that you can. and hence you get punished for having something that you worked hard for to have/make.

The same question was asked when NASCAR banned the Hemi and Superbird back in the day.
