I would love to see a rx7 in an autocrossing competition! ... are you allowed to drift the back end out? or is it straight turning ?
Tell your friend to try it sometime! I know lots of people get scared of red lining their engine that much... but its what those rotary engines are known for! I think if you saw one really use its full potential you'd be surprised... I've seen it first hand and when done correctly it does have amazing power!
