Default Run in with a aggressive Rx7 driver.

I think my constant hard acceleration and decel. gave this newer Rx7 the impression I wanted to race him. The weather is a bit wet and I didn't even realise he wanted to race until he pulled next to me at a stop light on redmond way(fallcity road). A few revs(from the RX7) and a extremely long pealout and I was already at the next red light. The guy didn't seem too happy and got out of his car for reasons unknown. I didn't want to know what he wanted to do and wasn't sticking around to find out so I ran the light. Scary stuff..... Driving my 200 tommorrow.<p>JasonC

Had a 94 RX-7.....It was soooo much faster than my 180Q. At the time it just about smoked everything on the road. It was a great car but not made very well. More problems than it was worth. By the way, all 3rd generation RX-7's are Twin Turbo.<p>2000 Silver TTQC

Default Possibly Rx7 had a turbo but weenie just doesn't know how to drive

A good smooth start can make a difference- particularly, if the other guy is leaving $20 of rubber behind.<p>JHC
2 x TT and need more

Default it was turbo, infact, there was 2 of them, but the ground was wet and he was doing alot of tail

sliding. The next redlight wasn't too far away either, but just wanted to share how scary it was.<p>JasonC

Forget the RX-7 in wet weather - I used to have one and it was downright scary!

The RX7 seven he's talking about is 280Hp and is lighther than our TT. 0 to 60 is under 5 secs.

Default Keep it off the street... its safer for everyone.. including the traffic coming the...

other way when you ran the light to get away from this a@@hole in wet conditions.

Really getting concerned that our driving strategies will make us look like the yuppie Camaro Z28 set.
