So there is this guy at work that want to race. He has a 1st gen rx7 that just got dynoed at 380rwhp and 390 ft/lb. If you check my sig, you can see what I got. I just got dynoed at 390 rwhp and 415 ft/lb. My real concern is that I am way heavier than he is, with the vert and all. Do you think that I will get killed or do I have a chance?
p.s. also i am fairly new at the track and he is not so he def. has an advantage there also

 

since u have more weight, and 10 more whp, which is probably like 15-18 more flywheel hp, i say it'll be a drivers race. hes lighter, and more track experience over you. so, i say it'll be a damned good race imo. let us know what happens...actually, let ME know what happens. lol i like RX-7's. nice cars.

 

I would say its going to be a drivers race, but considering you are a cub fan, you will lose

Guillen>Baker!!!

 

Sounds like an AWESOME race! I honestly don't have a clue who might win that one. Hopefully you, of course, but definitely post results!

 

i thought that since he was lighter that he would kill me... i will post the results when the time comes

 

I think he is going to take you pretty bad. Heres why. 1st gen RX-7's are extreamly light, like under 2600 lbs light, you are probably around a 3600-3700 lb race weight. The issue is going to be him (and you ) hooking up. If he can get that car to hook it will be silly fast. BTW do you know what he has done? 1st gen Rx-7's are really hard to get that kind of power out of (unless he did a Turbo Buick or LS1 swap which I have seen a few of)
