Phoon Hoon Member 156 Member For: 19y 9m 1d Posted 29/07/06 07:20 AM Share Posted 29/07/06 07:20 AM I watched with interest as a new neighbour moved in across the road. He has an old Mazda RX7. Don't know the year model, but I'm guessing early 80s?Anyway, we got to talking about cars. When he came and had a look at the toxic beast, he said that he ran a Phoon at the lights the other day. He reckons it was so close he could see the fear in the Phoon driver's eyes.He assures me his car is as stock as a rock.So, could this be true? Is an old RX7 a match for a 2006 BF Phoon? Or has this guy got his hand on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phoon was not tryingb. The RX7 is not really stockc. The Phoon driver stuffed his take off and was playing catch-upd. The RX7 guy is taking advantage of himselfOther than that I do not think the Phoon and the old RX7 are competitive. High 15s Vs high13s.....does not add up to me. If it was one of the "batmobile" ones then that would be different. Stock they were quite quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RX-7 SP Turbo tweaked by Alan Horsely in Australia will still crack 13.5 at the quarter stock.They won the Bathurst 12 hour. Enough Said Maybe his just had a stock 20B with just a stock massive turbo and stock nitrous... Lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 29/07/06 01:06 PM Share Posted 29/07/06 01:06 PM I had an older guy ages ago tell me that he blasted a complete bolt on modded xr8 in his newly accquired R33 GTS-T which was stock. He though his car was so tuff but wouldn't line me up, 2 weeks later I came across him on the road and put 2 length's on it without trying and he quickly dissapeared down a side street.

He said he could see the fear in the phoons drivers eyes, now if he was racing then he would have to behind to see the eyes iof the phoon driver. All good, this guy is legit.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
