[@RobDahm]

By far my favorite person to race and compete with. Hank is badass and has taught me so much on how to make the 4 rotor even faster 🤯

[@rjc862003]

Every time you shift the front end dives which means you're losing speed I still think compound turbo or supercharger / turbo is the move

[@RobDahm]

I worked on that considerably after we filmed all of these. I saw the same thing and got her to spool between shifts so much better.

[@rian0xFFF]

@@RobDahm your gear ratio seems too short, why don't increase it? You're losing time shifting

[@DJ_Chameli]

@@rian0xFFF in one of his more recent videos he addressed that, he lowered the final drive ratio on both diffs

Dahms rx7 is an actual definition of “wide body” not just some bolt on panels.

[@metalcowboy8171]

Rob didn't break anything this time 👍

[@TheMostSmokeCrew]

Rob said it was breaking up on the top end 🤣. He should get a properly built car made by Iroz. Having a broken/breaking project car gives rob plenty of content and I’m sure that’s his goal. More content more money. Lots of people love him and his eternal project. I’m more interested in well built machines but to each their own. I do think it’s risky lining up next to him when we’ve seen parts fly off and things get sketchy.

[@AzureCrux]

@@longsleevethong1457 If he wanted to pay someone else to build him a car he would have done that. You can neither afford to pay for a car of this level, nor build something of this caliber yourself. So why don't you at least *pretend* to not be a sad person online?

Maybe the turbo muffled the sound a bit but a lot of people would agree that this car plus the 787b since you brought it up sound very similar to a extremely high revving(12k+rpm) inline 4/flat plane v8. Also the 20b piston equivalent would be a high revving inline 6(e.g. honda rc166) even some inline 3s are comparable for example there's a Kawasaki(don't remember the bike model) that sounds similar to the 3 rotor.
