Why is it that the FD RX-7 the outside never looks like it needs to be upgraded any? There are some cars that need the exterior upgraded when you mod the engine bay, but for some reason... the RX-7 doesn't seem to be one of them! Looks hot!

Thats Zonblitz(Kenny maybe?) on RX7club right? Also, 365hp and 350tq from a 13b(rx7 engine), i'm sorry but i'm not buying that. Rotaries make very little torque. I've seen to many dyno sheets on RX7club with guys making over 400whp and not hitting 350tq.

It is a very clean car and if its the same one I'm talking about then I seen it at the big meet on April 29th at the NOLA lakefront. Very nice indeed.

Heres a pic of my good friends FD

Yeah that is Kenny's ride. It's very sweet!

You don't have to buy his numbers. After all this is the interwebz.
