The RX-7 is better because it has a rotary! Yeah!

The RX-7 is better because it has the rare factor.

The Corvette Rocks. The RX-7 Rocks. I will combine both.... if I ever finish

BTW, I owned a 2002 Z06. I'm not turning my car into a "Corvette" because I can't afford one. I'm turning my car into a "Corvette" because that's the way it should have been built in the first place.

There are obviously different upbringings and different schools, but that is what mine taught.

umm...wasnt this thread about 20Bs and motors and stuff?
Anyway. There are different kinds of respect, but the important kind has to be earned. I had a teacher once that thought i should treat him with utmost respect just because he was a teacher and i a pupil. it doesnt work that way. You have to give someone reason to repect you, otherwise the respect doesnt mean anything.
Now...lets talk about cars.

Fine. Now, shut the **** up unless you have something valuable to add to this discussion.

Hot rodding doesn't have to be practical, as the end result becomes its own reward.

Now, perhaps you could explain how harrassment contributes anything valuable to the discussion? Or for that matter, why should anyone be allowed to post such harrassment, intimidation, rudeness, and cursing? It seems we not only went to different schools, but read different rules of forum etiquette.

Louis, compare numbers
M3(35k) + turbo/supercharger(10k EASY) + Install(another 5 at a bmw shop) + engine upgrade to handle the forced induction, yes you do need it(5-10k)
Now the Rx7(6500-9000) + 20B and single turbo and installation(35k)
I think thats done. Not to mention the fact that the suspension and brakes on an FD is much better than that of the m3, therefore you may as well replace an FD. And the 911 turbo will come no where NEAR that of the 20B rx7. Now it may handle better, but power wise no where close. Drop in another 20k in suspension for the 7 and you'll be FAR better than that of the 911Turbo

but then you would have to seen driving a car that closely resembles a bloated whale with a large rear fin
I suppose I could drive a minivan with 2,000 hp as well, but who gives a ****?

A Supra is in no way compareable to a minvan....all though it is heavier car it's still capable of putting anything behind it.
