That's my good friends car, and for you to even try to disrespect it, is beyond me. So, before you try to diss it in any way because it has an "LS1" in it, you BETTER bring something better in all around events to the table.

It does it all - road racing, auto cross and 1/8th and 1/4 mile drags.

That's a video of its 9.9 at 134 MPH pass with 1.4 60'..

It's BAR'd, meaning it passes smog LEGALLY, daily driven to and from the track (320 mile round trip).

Keep to your JDM plates because that shiet be da mad tyte brah yadayeee??

and here goes the flaming

that was my peacefull response to brismo's post about rotary rx's being crappy looking and LS1 RX's looking better. granted there is some crapy pieces of **** rx's out there but theres also nice ones too. i like both and seen clean rx's of both kind. in this case the picture of the red rx i posted is aron's ls1 powered fc and it is extremely fast waaaay faster than my stock powered TII im not debating on which car can run a better 1/4 mile because we all know chevy built the LS1's mainly for the 0-60 mark and mazda designed the rotary to be placed in a sports car that was meant to be more of a handling car than a drag car. if i hurt you ls1 boy's feeling to bad but i have a point. so yeah my case those not fail. thank you

Your car: Stock looking with some wheels and $14.99 Kragen head lamp bulbs.

Aram's car: Bone stock body with decent 17 year old paint on his race tires and CF TII hood, stock/immaculate interior.. HMMMMMMMM....

Yep, you sure did doodly proved your gee-golly point!

And yes, the LSx series motors were meant for 0-60 MPH. Let me take my C6 Z51 Vette away from the Auto Crossing and road race events and attend more 1/4 mile racing events, because THAT IS where my car truly shines!

To some people, "JDM" license plates, uber-blue headlights, stickers, sidewayz license plates, and wheels from a fanboy cartoon show on "dorifto" doesn't make a car look good.

So what exactly is the point of your case in using Aram's car? Are you calling it an ugly car, in comparison to your car, are you saying it can't handle, what are you saying?

Riiight, how well does your FC handle in comparison to a Corvette? Thought so.

Right. Keep saying your pathetic attempt at an argument doesn't fail, maybe one day your dreams will come true! Not really.

rajahFD, i just read your post and yes you are absolutely right that Aron is a great guy, i've met him hanged out with him at the qualcomn races. i have lots of pictures and Videos of his car, it is a great car, i guess none of you LS1 guys caught my point that both kind of cars can look as cool. now in terms of my car and arons car yes his care will rape mine in the drag strip but when it come to handling my car has a good fighting chance. thats what i've focused on since i got the car and im getting there.

anywho this is a rather interesting topic and i do hope to meet all of you LS1 guys at sevenstock, i will be attending and will be taking my TII with my mad tight JAY D-EM 20HP mazdaspeed sticker so if you see me dont be shy come say hi, i'll show you guys my TII so you can see for yourselfs that im not joking and you guys have to show me your LS1's.

i wouldnt mind doing that at all, i been hoping to see one of these bad boys in action at an AutoX. i want to see how the rx7 platform handles with the extra weight,,,,so i've heard that the weight distribution is not affected by adding a V8 but i dont know if its just a rumor.

i know theres this guy on here that used to have a really nice white s4 with a V8 and the guy actually drove the **** out of it at the autox events i dont remember what his username was but i've seen a lot of action shots

Buttonwillow has a road course, not an auto-x track. No parking lot action here

The FD/FC still retain 50-50 weight distribution after the LS1 swaps. It's not a rumor. I had a white S4 with an LS1 and a few action shots lurking around, but I never auto-x'd it.

Will you be running at buttonwillow? I'll more then likely be there in my FD. I'd like to have alittle fun and run in the same group. See how my bone stock FD does against your LS1 FD, if your done by then ofcourse.

Of course I'll be there! My FD should be completely done by September 5th if everything goes according to plan, which it is so far.

Bone stock FD? You must have sold your other FD, haha. It should be an interesting battle. We both will have about the same HP, same suspension, I weigh a bit more (PS, AC, aftermarket sound deadening), but I'll probably have wider tires, so it'll definitely be a fun match-up .
