Yesterday the wife stayed home sick, so I thought I would go home for lunch. I roll into the BK drive-thru to get the wife some lunch and notice a white RX7 turbo II convertible sitting off to the side of the drive-thru. The way he was parked meant that he would have to go thru the drive-thru to get out. I am waiting at the window to get my food and he rolls up behind me. I didn't think to much about it because I am on base and doubted that he was leaving base. Anyway he does leave base and follows me. We turn off B50 toward Herforst and I layed into it. He follows suit. I am attempting to shift thru the gears with a d*mn soda in the cup holder(who the hell picks the placement of these things?). Even with my handicapped shifting ability I pull on him up to 100MPH were I shut it down. I geuss he desides it will make him look fast if he rides my *ss as we enter Herforst. I pull up to the light to go straight and to my disappointment he gets in the left turn lane. I stop well back from the light and he refuses to pull up beside me. I was like what the f*ck? All I wanted to do was give the guy a thumbs up for racing. So I was going to do the immature thing and leave him choking on my smokey burn out, but a Polzie(sp?) van pulled up behind us as the light changed.

So I finally got a race in my Camaro. I am hoping that he had some mods done, because I didn't pull on him as much as I thought I would. It was a white Turbo II convertible. I have seen it on base for a few years now, so it isn't anyone new. Plus it has true german plates, as in it is a german national. Anyone have any info on the car? Peace

In their day, they were ok, but now, they aren't $hit. The newer ones are pretty nice, but without mods, they're not much competition either..

Either way a good kill! ;)

Yep, good kill :)

The wankel engine is a cool technical concept,
but has always been a bit too thirsty for oil and gas ;)
The Turbo II has about 187hp stock or so...
