Mazda RX-7 gets sideways with a Ninja ZX10

[Dinesh]

It’s one of those scenarios that you always wondered about but never really got the chance to see played out. Sure cars going sideways are a thing of art but even their two-wheeled counterparts can get that back end out and that is sublime art.

So here we have a Mazda RX-7 with a 375hp Corvette V8 under the hood going up against a 2005 Kawasaki ZX10 with 175hp. Taking the reigns of the RX-7 is pro race car driver Jim Guthrie while the crotch rocket is piloted by Nick ‘Apex’ Brocha of Icon Motorsports. The bike gets a little mod in the form of an extended swing-arm to make it a little more tail happy.

"Mazda RX-7 with a 375hp Corvette V8 under the hood" ... ??? werkkk.... dun like american car.. jerky... werk.... but wut a nice vid

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

the advantage using v8 muscle for drift is the amount of tyre shredding torque much needed to go drift...this is why lately seems more and more drifter plonk v8 engine into JDM models car...


even aussie ppl use FPV v8 car with supercharge to drift....and the smokes..pretty much he could do fogging covering around the track

im not usually mad about engine transplants into other cars but..an V8 in a RX7 is HERESY!!!!!! because We know that a 13B tuned can produce as much as power as the V8
