He couldn't hang with us on the straights, but man, he sure had it hooked up under the fenders. He gave the RX7s fits in the twisty bits. I once asked him what he'd have to do to give it more power. His answer was, "..make it illegal."

Somebody needs to take a 7 (and I admit, I looked at them too) and drop a turbo rotory under it's wedged nose

I have seen a few with a rotary installed, most people stuff a Rover V8, but I like the idea of an LSX stuffed in one. I got a gold TR7 convertible from Gsmith that is just waiting for my garage to be built, before the fun begins........

mine has a Buick 231 that I built pretty well... all the power of the Rover BOP, with all of the engine aft of the front hubs.

Front Mid Engine BuickTR-7 baby.

I rode in a TR5 once. The guy who owns/owned The Roadster Factory had one.
