PM Rich Fox- you can't build a car nearly as cheap as you can buy a proven, record setting car like his.
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

You can't make a race horse out of a pig. But if you work hard enough at it you can make a mighty fast pig. - Bob Akin

Most RX7s are sports cars and would run in modified sports. I guess the newer 4 door cars might make gas coup.

Buy Rich Fox's car, and you'll probably be in a decently sorted out runner in no time at all.

I'd buy it myself, but it's just too darned big . . .

Some people just don't like Vegas. Or some people don't want a real Altered coup. They want more of a Gas coup that runs in Altered. There has been a guy talking about buying it and we also thought about loaning it out to a good home. Sold the Packard engine. Now I need to move the Lark.

We're in that "They want more of a Gas Coupe that runs as a Altered" category. Also thinking the RX-7 would be a little small with a rollcage and all. I also like building the car myself, that is more than half the fun. Phil

Yeah. I left that out. For lots of people, it's the journey. Not the destination. But I think your in trouble with the RX7. 240Z 2+2 works.
