Title: Silver RX7 in Wolverhampton gave my Evo a whooping!
Post by: EvoBoy on August 01, 2006, 02:41:30 PM
Hi,

Anyone know or own a Silver RX7 in Wolverhampton or surrounding area, Had my ar5e handed to me by a very mean looking RX7 on the Black country route just of Junction 10 of the M6 a few weeks ago.

I thought my 360bhp Evo 7 was quick, but this RX7 made me look like I left my handbrake on.

Anyway nice car, I was in the Yellow Evo 7 that you caught up, passed and left me for dead !:)

Wasn\'t me!

Nice of you to come looking though !  

To make you feel like you left your hanbdbrake on I\'d guess he\'s running over 400  :chat

Dont know of a silver fd around here. Respect for being honest though, at least you haven\'t said something like "oh well i didn\'t have much petrol anyway so i didn\'t really try"

Still cant believe how quick this RX7 was, Ive never had anything like that catch me up, then overtake me, and pull ahead that I can only just make out the rear lights.

I had a quick play with a R33 GTR with full decat, filter and remap, and there was nothing in it, so this RX7 must have been well over 400bhp.

Anyway thanks for the reply lads, I see some of you from near my area, Just hope I dont see any of you RX7 owners behind me as ill be having flashbacks of the last time I saw a RX7!

Wasnt blue and silver by any chance?

http://media.putfile.com/Freddy-85

If so it may have been freddy, his is fairly brisk :yes

Having said that, his is more blue than silver...so I\'m probably dead wrong!

It was all silver, with the words Dragon going along the bottom of the door, and a kind of Veilside style front bumper and a very loud exhaust system as it come flying past.

I did sell the scooby, but bought a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 instead, Would love a RX7, but need to do a bit more research into it at the moment.

Here is a picture of my Evo incase the owner of the RX7 remembers it, Ive posted a picture of the front of the car, as it was probably the only bit you remembered as you looked in your rear view mirror!:chat :Laugh
