Default UK RX7 in the 9s!

Yesterday at Santapod the RE:Worx RX7 ran a 9.8@142mph!

On its first run!

Vid here- www.reworx.com/rew9.83.wmv

They drove it to the track n back too

The other weekend at Shakespear County the Dragon one ran a 10.3 too....



When we gonna see some RWD cossies do this kinda thing? Thought Dannys saff would, but obviously he didnt get round to doing it to that stage.

yes but most people on this site seem to call those tyres road legal slicks!! slicks means no treat there fore not road legal!!

the Rx7 runs on DOT Drag Radials which are treated radials that happen to be very soft compound and side wall for straight line grip.
