I happen to disagree with what certain people say, but i dont necessarily think those people are stupid...not all the time... im just kiddding, fact is that xurotaryrocket is right. we are all car enthusiasts and we have to appreciate the fact that there are other car enthusiasts interested in other cars out there. I personally like to hear peoples' opinions who don't drive rx7s. They have different takes on things.

60' time explanation

Here's an explanation even a high school physics dropout can understand.

First we need a driver. Let's call him Chrissy. (Not to be confised with anyone here)
1st example:

Chrissy has a super modified 3rd Gen RX7 putting out 1200hp. At the lights he hits a perfect green start and rips off a outstanding 1.1 sec 60' time. He then screws up the shift and blows the tranny. Forward momentum carries him through the traps with a 52 sec ET.

2nd example:

Chrissy takes a run in his backup vehicle, a MasseyFerguson tractor. This E ticket ride has a powerful starting line jump from 0 to 4 mph. Chrissy keeps on it for the 1st 60 feet, earning a 6 second time. He then lights the 2 attached space shuttle boosters and tears through the lights with a 8 second et. He then goes into low earth orbit and is burned up on reentry.

And yet still not even one flame from me.

Great contribution to the thread Mr. Bizarro, there always has to be at least one person who can't come up with an intelligent thought.

Zero, you made the stupidest posts in this thread that I have ever read in my life. I am so much dumber for having read them that I feel like gouging my eyeballs out.

How's that?

Steve,

My "stupidest" posts were on-purpose. When dealing with members of the LS1 community its necessary.
