In my mates civic vti last night been rr'd at 170bhp, we kept up with an rx7 over bypass, around big roundabout (mates is lowered 80mm) onto motorway off at next junction (big spiral) still going about 100mph then up the bypass upto 125, is this right  he was defo trying aswell looked a bit dodgy at points as was my mates 
Do u think he just couldn't drive or is there a lower powered model?

New RX7 will be shweet *Schmickles*
180ps RX8 is a joke... £20k+ for something that gets whipped by Pug GTi 180's
PS I raped an RX8 in my CTR Bloke was less than impressed
