I was with rouge when we met this mystery man. This was the biggest crock of **** I have ever heard in my life. I guess he didnt relize we were car fanatics and more importantly have owned multiple RX7s. I cant wait to hear the BS when it flys though the 1/4 in the low 14's.

On a side note, the Greddy exhaust sounded pretty damn good.

I totally agree. He had a nice 8, he just didnt have to lie so dam extravagantly about what the car ran. He just sounded so dam ignorant. I like the guy but why lie???

Absolutely, but ya know, there might be a couple of special 8's in the area that can do this sort of thing. My gas mileage is so bad that mine is probably one that can do 11.5 in the 1/4 mile, I just can't find the after burner switch to light up the extra gas. .

We asked if he had the Greddy turbo kit or a huge shot of spray and he said it only had intake, Greddy exhaust, and ......... rotor work. We were too stunned by the bull **** to say anything but he invited us to come out to the track with him. Just wanted to let everyone know about the insanely fast mostly stock RX-8 rolling around. :D

whoa i missed something!!! when the hell did you get an 8???? and hows the 7 running?

No, it's the host doing the voice of the guest. That's what The Phil Hendrie Show is all about.

I am going to have to call definate BS on this, sounds like this poster child for a prophylactic probably ran an 1/8th and thought it was a 1/4 mile track.

WOW, way to revive a completely dead thread. In other news, i wonder what ever happened to this guy.
Oh, and i think Adrian officially has the fastest RX-8 in texas. If i ever get to putting my car on the 1/4 mile track he could have some competition I guess PTP could say theirs is the quickest, but they too have not put out official numbers yet.
