"My car started life as a factory lightweight with an aluminum hood and lighter interior, and all the Turbo suspension and brakes. I don't want to offend anyone here, but this car got considerably more fun since the massive torque of the 5.0 V8 got connected to the skinny pedal!!! Especially since it only weighs 2720 lbs wet! I've owned and autocrossed many RX-2's, 3's, & 7's over the years, including this one in both rotary and V8 form. The plan is to add a Vortec supercharger and fuel injection for over 500hp, and get a 2nd Gen convert for a driver! C-Ya!!"
