from what my roommate says, the aftermarket for those cars suck. that's why you don't hear about 1000RWHP VR4s. he had an RT TT and it was quick for what it was with just exhaust and a boost controller. it was a piece of crap though. the body had ~60k miles on it and the motor had like 15-20k and the turbos were already shot, engine had a ticking noise, and the starter was messed up (had to constantly turn the key back and forth to get it to turn over). but like i said, fun cars!

Most of the high end guys don't go to the track.... they keep it low key and on the street..
yeah, the track is a scary place when all of the work has been done for the dyno...

im sure that all of those chrome engine items add a ton of power...

There's no chrome... it's all polished aluminum....

They're fairly potential, easy to get into the 13's and 12's but i guess thats about it for them.
My first race in my stang was against a VR-4 Mitsubishi Galant, had had some minor mods including boostcontroller and exhaust work. Here's the super crappy vid my gf made.

There's another VR-4 around which runs low 13's.. they really look a lot like the new Evo's.

That could be quite possibly the worst rear diffuser on that RX7 that I have ever seen on any car! That whole car is a visual monstrosity.

I really like the RX7's, but it always seems to be really difficult to find a nice clean one that hasn't been butchered with crappy body kits and such.
