Default Spotted RX7 - LS1 swapped...

Going to school on Tuesday, and I spotted a clean red late model RX7. Looked like he was driving a bit aggressive. When he passed me he got on it a bit and did a 3rd to 4th chirp. Just wanted to say that was a nice car and the first LS1 RX7 I've ever seen on the road. I'm sure this individual is on here. Have fun with that thing.

It's not hard to tell the difference of the rotary and the V8 sounds. Now as far as what kind of V8, that is a diff story. I'm sure he said an LS1 b/c that is the most common engine to go into the Rx7.
