Arrow For those who dont beleive FC can do 120mph

Well in my third vid i put in a lil insert of my 1987 Mazda RX-7 doing bout 120mph, going towards Rotorfest. Just want to let other 8 guys who dont know that FCs can rock it with the big boys. My car is n/a no turbo.

Most ive done is bout 140mph +/- 1mph.

I wish my frigging wifey woulda recorded it =)

NOTE: Not directed towards evil, just general info

Check out Video 3 please, http://www.nyrotary.com/13363.html

yeah no directions i know how it is. i was directing us from nyc holland tunnel to exit 48 off I-80. i missed the exit cuz i was with 7 FD's and they were doing 155mph+ and i was doing 140mph +/- 1mph just trying to keep up. But i got us back to the RX-8 spot a lil later but still good.

The reason we missed the spot was cuz we saw 3 corvettes on our way there and FDs took off. So i joined in. I told my girl to record and by the time she got the camera ready it was over and we was slowing down. i was so mad. No one beleived FC n/a can do 120mph, now ya got video evidence, and i wasnt even at WOT. I take my car on a regular to 125mph on the Grand Central Parkway, I-80 give you 4 lanes to go nutz.

Well ima be taking my camera with me more often and ima record a 130mpn+ run for you guys, in a 20 year old RX-7 =)

At first 120 seems fast but the more you do it the faster you want to go. I went out a few nights ago and blew by cops on cross island by Bell BLVD doing 90mph, instead of slowing down i gunned it. Did 120mph even. Wasnt as much fun.

Dont get to pass 120 much in nyc. Done 135mph on the grand central, all 4 lanes were empty so i gunned it from LGA to jackie rob.
