ya i agree. My last car was a 93 rx7 r1 and i now have a slightly modded wrx. Apex avcr,apex n1 exhuast, aem intake, hks ssbv the wrx would easily take the 7 from a stop and probley a roll as well.

I have raced a auto rx7 and I bet him by a lot. We are friend and after I hit 85ish I quit, took him a bit to get up to me. He says something is wrong with his turbos, but I think he could take him, AWD kick ***.

off topic, rotory motor

hey, what the hell is a rotory motor anyway ? I asked a friend who has one and he went into this big shpeel about airplane engines and such.....do the cylinders actualy move or something?anyway if i didnt have an impreza id drive a rx7 , sure as hell wouldnt buy an automatic though =)
as far as that tornato thing goes.....dont you think an auto manufacturer would have thought about that along time ago if it actualy did anything? cars computers today are more techilogicaly advanced then the first space shuttle =) and o yea....same thing goes with friggin oil additives.....

i am glad you drive an imprezza. If you were to have a rx7 you would likely **** it up since you don't even know what a rotary engine is or how it works.

the rotories on FDs and FCs are legendary..

but that new Renesis Rotory ...... is lame....

how can you design a new engine and have less torque..

around 70 lbs less torque.. so what it's NA, still need to whine up to 9000 rpm
put a turbo on it. ..

Mazda is a zombie under Ford..

The tornado is a waste of money and sheet matel for any car.

The best bit I read in this thread was:

Quote:

also about the tornado.. I say it give you anyway from 2-4mpg.. If you dont drive like an idiot. meaning around 24mpg, stock 20mpg.

Give me a break. Just "not driving like an idiot" is what caused the MPG increase! When I drive with a heavy foot in my Firebird I get 10-12mpg. When I drive like a sane human being I get 28-30mpg. And no I don't have a tornado and would never waste my money on one.

The reason he was picking metal pecaces out of his engine cuz he did not put it in right if it dont fit right you have to send it back, so he was the stupid person for not doing so..
