The RX7 with the LS1 swaps actually have about a 51% front 49% rear weight distribution.

Total weight is 3150 with my 260 pound ass behind the wheel.

Andrew, you suck! :ripped:
Seriously, good job. Just wish I would've bit the bullet and put that in my car. At that time it would have been one of the first TT-LSX's out there in a red 69 Camaro with TTII's! :candle:

Oh Jimmy...You were so NOT ripped!
That engine is funny. It only dynoed at 350RWHP and there is no way you would have been able to turbocharge it as it sat. The compression is way too high. Believe me, I have a single turbo, wastegate and BOV sitting in the garage. I was going to install it in the Mazda, but I really don't want to tear into that motor.

Very very nice. I remember those 12.14s in the GTO. The RX-7 is almost a full second faster!

No leaks from the water neck?

Thanks John. The water neck is working out just fine!

In all honesty the RX7 will run circles around the GTO. I wish that more people would build cars with a little concern for weight.

Well, I'm hopeful of II Much coming in at around 3000 lbs., so we'll see. It will probably get heavier over time after its debut. Things like A/C, stainless fuel tank, big stereo, etc.

But anyway (as I step back from the hijack "cliff"), those are awesome numbers. How much time and effort did it take you to get that rocket on the road?

JP,

II Much will be way faster than my little turd. The RX7 is only putting down about 360RWHP. It is trully amazing how little REAL HP it takes to run fast at the track.
