So are we looking at an RX7 rotary build and when it’s done, a Crosscountry Roadtrip with the K swapped Rx7 and Tall Ben’s Rx7?

Exactly my thoughts. I'm sure this is happening, at least, I hope it's happening!!!

The moment he started it, before entering the frame, it had the distinct rotary sound.

So recognizable

[@polakjindrich9322]

Yep. Very distinct. It always sounds like a rotary has no compression on startup.

[@SkylineLofe]

Okay, I haven't even started watching the video, but I can tell you this: no matter what happens, this car will always be close to your heart. That's just facts. Don't try and go one upping yourself and this car because you'll find some major stress in doing that. Whatever car you're getting next, just build it for fun, don't try and one up your previous car.

@@EmilioE36 yo spoiler alert

[@spamspam9835]

Ben I'm pretty sure a car with so much grip you can just hold the throttle down without worrying about spinning wouldn't teach you nearly as much as a car where you had to balance the grip and power.

[@arlowelee]

Wow. Two years ago already? I remember watching this video when it first came out, and remember first hearing the startup at the end of the video and thinking "wait a minute, that kinda sounds like a rotary???" before it even showed on the screen. Amazing how far you guys have come!

[@tmotom]

Amazing photos. Truly amazing. You've portrayed how it feels to get car parts you're excited for so perfectly.

[@nikolanaskovski4103]

Watching you guys, doing it so passionate makes me reconsider a lot about the things I do, i wish you nothing but the best coz you deserve it.

The quality of this video is like a perfect cook steak pleasing to the eye you could Even smell it and taste the car wow that was a joy to watch I to have sold my Z recently due to having a baby and I am looking for an Evo 10 for myself keep up the good work guys

[@TheKasli]

[@ASAPJermz]

Actually a BIG fan of these cinematic style episodes, the music, the lightning & camera angles... THIS is precisely what separates this channel from the other car/racing ones. Beautiful work 👌🏼

[@sariffofficial]

WOW what an ending to a video. did NOT expect that, I thought I was going to have to wait another week. The way your camera was set up and how the shot was taken out of focus made me so much more hyped for it. It was like seeing a post credit scene at a marvel movie.

[@alfredgerado4303]

Love this video guys! Awesome production! Cant wait for your the build series Ben!

[@uscitizen97]

AHA! I knew it! You guys got me emotional with this one, with a storyline like watching your kid grow up then leave for college, but now you have your empty-nester project. A truly satisfying end - but more so a brand new start.

Absolutely amazing build up! I laughed, I cried, and then when I heard the turn key and rev, I SCREAMED! I cannot wait to see the face off between the two cars if that will be the eventual goal. Even the same base color!

[@fred062000]

I would have liked to see you continue to learn with the Z. Friendly tip, if you want to learn to control the balance of a car do it at a safer limit with a tire that isn't more aggressive than 200tw. Something like an RS4 or Z3 would have been a better learning tire. I only say this because I made the exact same mistake myself.
