Seriously.

The kid wanted to make a car that was fast and pissed people off. I think this thread shows he did the latter quite well.

Also consider that most big builds (even on here) end up never completed and parted out, and this dude in his teens actually drives his project, and does it angrily. For that he can do whatever he wants with his speedo and gas gauge.

What's not to understand? Have you seen what happens in the meet-n-greet forum when someone posts a slammed miata?

I'm not pissed, quite the opposite. I respect the V8 swap. I doubt I could ever do anything that cool. I hate on the wooden splitter, the whatever that is grill, the outside speedo, etc.

Comparison:
My brothers 350z makes 400whp on Stillen's dyno at 9psi.

The RX-7 is faster.
The video said nearly 400hp I assumed that 400hp was rwhp and nearly ment somewhere near 400. Who quotes crank HP except someone trying to make their dick look bigger then it actually is. Yeah my dicks 8 inches long if you stick the ruler 4 inches into my gut

lol nice example. Its a youtube video. Just like tv they want things to sound better and its a feature. When u see cars getting featured in magazines they always hire some insane photographers that make your car look like god when in reality it looks...well not like god.

Probably attribute that to the annoying presenter and his desire to aggrandize things.

okay, so I wait a month when i break $100 and finally get it.

That's like saying I don't make $150,000 a year salary because I only get a ~$2200 paycheck once a week after taxes.

I like it. It isn't exactly what I would want, but I also didn't build it.

Is Los Flores road near Camp Pendleton?

Also, he does have a build thread on an RX7 forum but i think u need to be a member with 15+ posts to view it.

With all the sandy vaginas in this thread im pretty sure the owner did what he set out to do.

The difference between him and the cr crowd is he has the performance to back up a retarded look. I dont mind a ugly as hell, whether it be all ghetto in this instance or riced out, if they have the performance to back it up. Remeber the rice thing started out as civics that wanted to look fast without being fast, who cares how they look if the ARE fast.

I google searched "ugly fast cars", to hopefully find something for comic relief. This came up and I thought it warranted a post.

I suggest some people in this thread look up the term apathedic and cynacism.
