Default srt-4 street raceing

<FONT size=2>Well i was rideing around houston,tx the other night. I stoped for some gas and a guy started asking about the srt. Well he didn't know nothing about them! And was driving a '04 rx-7. Well he asked if i wanted in on some raceing that was about to happen on the west side so i said sure and followed him even let him beat me a few times. I was unprepared for what i saw...everything was there you name it and i was the only srt-4 out of a hundred or less cars all custom and imports. One guy wanted to run me with his imprezza for $20...haha...nope. well i lined up a race with a EVO V111 skunked him by four car lengths! And pocketed $200! And that was it no one would touch me after seeing that. But made a few fun runs knocked off a tsi and a spyder called it a night and went home.</FONT>

There is no such thing as an 04 rx-7. There is however an RX-8. Is that what you meant??

Sounds like an RX-8. There is an RX-7 comming out again; but I'm not sure when. Did you get to see if it was a manual or auto??</P>

I was going to bring up the'04 thing, but I just let it go. The last gen rx-7 was better than the rx-8.

I liked the twin turbo RX-7; they were pricey though.</P>

Very, very pricey. But I must say they look pretty good. They would have been better if they could have brought the 3 rotor Wankel over from japan. To bad we have emissions holding all the good stuff back here. I like the temp sensor on the floor(which is covered in asphalt), when the light comes on the owners manual tells you to pull over and get out, because the car is going to go up in flames.LOL Too many converters= heat & fire

It was a stick shift. I don't think it was that good of a ride. Hejumped me by five or six cars from a light and i closed that and put five or six on him all before i hit third gear.

The only mazda wankel engine i remember was in my uncle's '81 mazda station wagon. advertised with only three moving parts, but it took a hundred more to get those three parts to move.<IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0"></P>
