That is scary power. 685 to the wheels. That means 730 to the flywheel. This guy will die very soon in that car if not careful. Don't forget out man in Puerto Rico has 650 pushing on his RX-8 so it can be done!!

It's a cool car but the buildup was just stupid. If I have to go through all that nonsense to see the car in action I want to see close to 1000whp and maybe some boobies

Hey Guys, I am the one that created the video, and I forgot to X-Post
for my RX-8 and Rotary powered brothers.

Here is the video showing the car in motion.

***REMEMBER, this is NOT a Street Racing Video***
It is only a video to properly display an extremely fine
example of an FD RX-7.

We hope to have some new video in the near future, with
the car running against many different contenders..

The Video is available in several sizes for different bandwidths:

***CRANK THE VOLUME UP***

Medium Quality - 31 Megs - Good Server
CLICK HERE. - (Hosted by SaveFile.com)

Low Quality - 24 Megs - decent server speed.
CLICK HERE - (Hosted by Putfile.com)

OK Quality - Small Image - REAL FAST Video though...
CLICK HERE - (Hosted by Streetfire) might not work until tomorrow

OK Quality - Medium Image -
CLICK HERE (Hosted by googlevideo.com) might not work until tomorrow
Cannot be saved to your PC.

*** THESE BELOW ARE SLOWER, BUT OH SO WORTH IT - HIGH QUALITY VIDEO ***

High Quality - 106 Megs - SLOW SERVER
CLICK HERE (Hosted by FileFactory.com)

Very High Quality - 150 Megs - SLOW SERVER
CLICK HERE (Hosted by MegaUpload.com)

Very High Quality - 150 Megs - SLOW SERVER
CLICK HERE (Hosted by BigUpload.com)

Remember, some sites make you click, wait 45 seconds or so,
and then allow you to download the file. The download link might be hidden behind a pop up window. NOTE: Some links will only be active a few days.

After you see the video, please post any positive comments,
as I am curious to see what you think.

Thanks

Structurally it is. It's just a different hood, headlights, and the '99 J-spec front end. I know what you mean though.

this is too much, when my car was at 387 rwhp it was scary to drive it and if you went full throtle and the tires got a litle water , it was very hard to find traction even with 285's on the rear. I went back to my old set up with the twins back on, after all it is a street car.

lol... unless youre talking about the motor and the headlights... its stock... well if you count a 99spec bumper as a stock bumper (which it is.. sort of)...

but guys... most people will always want more power no matter what... once youre in the captians seat and you appearance power.. you want more of it... like poon tang. you can never have too much power.

never owned an fd but my turbo 2 with bnr upgrade is the most awesome car I have ever driven. The 8 is amazing and handels better than the fc even with full suspension. but there is just some thing about the seven that truley is legendary.
