Yeah I almost forgot about that story. The RX-7 was indeed a POS, it sounded like my washing machine with an unbalanced load.

here's another kill story for dodge I was driving down SR54 in my 86 mercury cougar some kid thinking he's a hardass driving a stratus r/t is racing an intrepid we get to the madison stop light they're revving there engines they're racing I floor it and pass them then they try to go in front of me the kid in the stratus changes lanes and i go in front of him I waste him all the way to little road and I sand bag it a lil so he can try to pass then i gun it....2.4 liter stratus PFF nothing scary my cougar was running the 3.8liter V6 then it broke down now I have my 89 integra 1.6liter DOHC that isn't running yet but soon and I have a 92 lincoln towncar w/ 4.6liter overhead cam V8 and a 92 plymouth colt running a 1.5 SOHC I've raced cars of many haven't lost as much as i've won but i've lost plenty but have fun all the time

I wouldn't brag too much on beating a heavy ole FJ body witha 2.4L. I've got a 3.0L version that would make short work of all of the vehicles you have listed. And its still not what I call fast.
