Robert , I am from Aguadilla, PR and I also own a 2005 Red Velocity RX8 with the basic modifications, RB catback, RB Intake and RB sway bars. I am quite impressed with your car and I would love to see it. I am a fan of drag racing and I travel the whole Island for good races, Salinas, Ponce, Carolina & Manati. If you have any plans in the near future to visit any of this places, please drop me a note. Also I would like to see your comments regarding (Siguel) Major League.

Hola rotorpr, estaremos muy pronto en esos terrenos nuevamente te indicare cuando y donde por este medio, Ahore mismo voy estar haciendo unas modificaciones en la suspencion del carro para poder aumentar el "boost" 20 PSI buscar un mejor tiempo claro y que no rompa , la ultima vez que utilizamos "slick" dejamos los medio ejes en la pista, recuerda que este es un carro de uso diario no un carro de pista por eso no quiero comprometer la confiabilidad de este. En respecto a Siguel en mi opinon es un icono boricua que ha puesto el nombre de Puerto Rico en alto arrededor del mundo. El cual me siento orgulloso por que es un boricua que la ha puesto en la luna en este mundo del automovilismo. Y si es un boricua pues mejor!

Saludos
Rgonza

The engine is on the $3,300- $3,800 range................... (I buy it on $2,800 )
plus near $800 to buy all the seals, gaskets and springs to make the refreshment.

Call Pica motors in Bayamon someone thell me that he have like 13,
20B engines on stock....................

Don't buy anything until you have the person to do the job.
For the job of put the engine on the car is near $1,700.00
they need to work on the rack & pinion, extend the wheel connector, etc, etc.

I extimate that you need near $12,000............................ plus some labor.

Manuel

12K really isn't bad at all when you think about it

you'll have LOTS more horsepower than a Viper, you'll weight less, and it will handle like a dream in comparison. Heck you'd kick the new Corvette Z06 in the nutz it would start crying

if $12K plus lets say $28K for an RX-8 to have a Supercar level performer (in numbers and I imagine on the track too) that is a bargain!

Trumagellen,

now that you're talking about Z06,

Last monday Robert went with his 3 rotors RX8
on place that people race on Mondays nigths here in PR ...................
There was a Corvette Z06 that was wining to everyone
and the owner says to Robert
that what the heel he was doin there with and "RX8"
Roberts ask for $500.00 for run against the corvette of course the
owner accept. The corvette lose for near 8-10 cars................

The owner of the Z06 can't believe and offer and extra $200.00 if Robert opens the RX8 hood.

My friend Robert has $500.00 extra on his pocket!

Manuel

That is the best story I have ever heard. Do you have another one? I am sure everyone on this forum would love to hear about the 8 kicking the s#@t out of other 'Big HP cars' down in PR.

it wouldn't really matter as the new Z06 puts down 505hp at the crank and is a 7.0 liter ogre around 550lbs engine

the 3rotor strapped into the RX-8 is running minimum 650HP at the WHEELS and there is still room for more power (to be fair the Z06 is too) only weighs 319lbs

once you see a 3rotor in person you'll understand it is insane (I've seen one in a second and third gen 7 but only the second gen install was functional)

I haven't seen a 4 rotor in person but that is like a freight train (weight 396lbs)

don't forget Abel Ibarra’s 1,500 hp 3-rotor RX-8 but probably cost 50 times as much too



to really mess with your mind how about this

Well I've gotten the chance to take a ride in one of the new Z06's.. and for me anyways it's hard to imagine many cars faster.. especially THAT much faster..

The corvette was one of the new one's,
and that was not the first one that this RX8 kills...........

This 3 rotor RX8 has 657HP at the wheels with 14 psi of bost (aprox. 750 HP at the crank)
If you see the videos posted here the car goes from 0-100 in 8 sec or less and that run on the video was with 8 psi of boost.......................

Robert sometimes goes to run on montehiedra mall
some people goes to the montehiedra mall area and make races on wednesday
(the runs begins near midnight to 2:00 am) he can tell you about other cars that lose against him..................

Robert has a lot of stories of peoples that lose some $$$ runing against him.
I would ask him to write a few ones here.
Of course that the translation to English is not the same fun!
