Weird to hear that V8 rumble when you see a RX-7. Looks like it works pretty well.

At first I only got the video, when it drove off I was like "WTF? :shock:".....

Some of our daily drvers sound like that -- only we handle a lot better

hmm.. kind of defeats the purpose of having an RX-7.. but then again, this is definitely one hell of a drift machine
