This RX7 is one serious hard core turbo Rotary Beast and it's owned by Ted who's a really cool guy who is the Top Gun of the elite jdm car club Regiment Zero. This was the second time that I photographed Ted's car last year, I first met him at Auto Con New york, but this time I was able to capture his car in action on the track where it truly belongs as a track day special. It looks like a touge monster from those japanese Hot Version Video's that had tuner shop's challenge each with their tuned cars on mountain roads and the on the Circuit.
A vented hood is vital to a rotary engine that will be raced because rotary's tend to generate a lot of heat. Note the mirrors on the fender, that's a retro JDM touch.
Ted picked up a nail on the track so he had to cut his track time short.
Down force via a GT Wing is needed for high speed cornering and to help keep the rear tires planted.
Where the RX7 belongs, on the track taking on GTR's

Loving it. Here is one of our local track cars. A perfect case of "when tuners lose there minds. 3rotor in a Camaro Transam.

This is great! I have seen LS1's swapped into rx7's which i was really never happy about but this looks like sweet rotary revenge! I wonder how the Chevy guys feel about this.

It's fully accepted. They've got way worse cars to worry about in that class.

I'll remember that next time, it does look like a time attack car that could lap Tsukuba in under a Minute!
