EDIT: Rather see a video. Joe $hit the ragman can post a timeslip of anything. Not being an a$$. Just MHO
I have the video and realized its not worth the effort to have it link here. The run was recorded on a digital camera and has no sound and it's not of good quality. When viewed from the digital camera it looked good in my opinion. but after I had it loaded to my pc, it's of very poor quality. I have all my time slips. 14.6 @93 mph 14.5 @94mph and 14.3 @ 95.77 mph I could post it with no problem. Ill have to scann it and ill post it.

I like people like you. Quick to believe the opposite. No problem when I ran the first 14.5 I had a couple of people screaming wheres the time slip????? I had my friend scann it and post it, then complete silence. I run a super busy small business and sometimes I don't have time to go out of my way to scann and post. Sure enough last time I had my friend that lives 25 minutes out of my shop to come pic up the slip and post it here. Believe you me, I have the time slip and is treasured like a piece of gold. I'll make a big effort to post the slip..

And your comment in revolutionary because....??

I was just kidding with Ike: he knows! he doesn't let me in the boat! (sorry, now I went off-topic completely..)

And if I may add: it would be nice to see some slips...just as an added bonus.

Judge ITO,

I read this entire thread and did not see what RPM you launched at. What RPM should I launch? I launch my 94 Rx-7 at 3000 to 3500 or so.

I was thinking 5,000? My technique in my rx-7 is to hold it at 3000 or 3500 then feather the clutch 1/2 way and then drop it.

any suggestions? If it doesn't rain I'll go saturday.

I wonder if that's the same 350Z driver that's talking crap about our cars on the g35driver.com forum under other cars ( RX8 ). Saying things like we won't allow other car owners on the forum because were so embarrased at how slow our car is,due to Mazda detuning and what a junk car, ect. He must really hate the 8 or someone who has one. As for me I'm a car person and I love to look and research other cars and I also respect other cars and their owners like the 350, G35, WRX, EVO ect. I just really get peeved about ignorant people sometimes.

Jim, I wish all members were more like you. However some RX-8 owners bashes other cars pretty heavy (moreso in the past) and practically tried to run off anyone that didn't own an RX-8 or feel it was gods gift to cars. It certainly upset some non owners and enthusiasts that were just here to learn about a car they liked and gave them a sour taste when it came to the RX-8. I've had a bit of that sour taste in my mouth from time to time in the past, but I got over it easily, others tend to hold a grudge I suppose.
