02 SEMA Herts Twerkstallion RX7

2. Hert's "Twerkstallion" Mazda RX-7

The Twerkstallion is a car that I'm all too familiar with, but not in the form that showed up to the SEMA show. If anyone is familiar with Hert's drift car shenanigans, you'll know that his FC RX-7 was the definition of "missile." Dented and shredded body panels and aero, a junkyard V8, and the reliability of a rollercoaster made out of popsicle sticks used to be the highlights of this build, but the new RX-7 is absolutely jaw-dropping. The BN Sports kit all around has been coated in some fresh red paint and a kickass, chromed-out livery from Factory83. In the engine bay, where the old Chevy LS heart used to sit, is a return to form: a rotary engine that's been overhauled by Angel Motorsports. Seeing this car was like seeing Goku fighting Frieza and turning Super Saiyan for the first time.
