the only parts that look good (the orange, rims and meats etc) are the things that make this car distinctly un-rx-7 ... look closer, see that poor little skinny black mazda body under all the fiberglass orange flair weeping inside?...
I love thoses engines ... go so high it's a fucking joke. 3 rpm every explosion ... ;)
This one dosen't look like an RX7 but it's a fucking badass car

yup rotary engine - amazing engine shame its so damn expensive and noone else uses it
The Rotary Engine is extremely simple in it's design, and therefore very reliable. It also poseses the rather extraordinary double-virtue of being both fuel efficient and powerful. I have some experience with them, and can tell you that I would beat the shit of that car near Shea Stadium, doing donuts and drag-racing it. It seemed it could LIVE at 7,000 rpm, all fucking day.

Errrrmmm Fuel Efficient?
Next to Rotary - the words fuel and efficient do NOT belong together - fuel monster would be far more suitable. Even a stocky will chew juice like it's a fire breathing 6L V8 UNLESS you drive it at 1500rpm....

Dood, we're taking about a high-performance car, here -- "efficiency" is relative to performance. Check this out:
"The Mazda RX7 was a practical sports car, highly competitive, and offered at a low price. Supply could not keep up with demand and many potential buyers were often offering more money above sticker price just to own one. There were initial quality problems but all issues were quickly resolved. By 1980 nearly 140,000 examples had been produced. Using a 12A rotary engine displacing 1.2 liters, it was capable of producing around 105 horsepower. Zero to sixty was accomplished in ten seconds.
In 1984 a more powerful 1.3 liter rotary engine was introduced, the 13B. The 13B produced 135 horsepower and was placed in the 'special edition' cars called the GSL-SE. The GSL-SE were given disc brakes on all four corners and a Limited Slip Differential. The zero to sixty time improved to just under nine seconds... more
This is a friendly dialogue, of course, but I gotta ask...have you ever driven a stock 1981 RX-7 with a 5-speed and a 13B engine? It sounds like no, cuz anybody I ever met who ever has spends the rest of his life singing Savana's praises --

Never driven any form of RX7 - i have however driven an RX1 or R100 whatever the thing is (2 door - i'll find a pic of one later). Anyways it had a 13B bridgeport and a crap load of other mods. It went like a scalded cat BUT I felt like someone had trapped me inside a can with a bumble bee BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTT BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTT BZZZZZZZZZZZZZttt
I get that they have a phenomenal amount of power for their displacement, but the sound a rotary makes at WOT is like being stuck in a room with Hanson on repeat!
They're quick, it's great to be able to rev to high heaven and still not hit redline - but if I had to listen to that engine everyday i'd become suicidal.
I've got a 2litre turbo(sr20det) in a small datto (p510 for the US peeps) and the sound is superb, power delivery freaking NUTS but still it lacks that chilling, menacing sound of a V8 almost stalling at idle.
But I digress, kudos to you for loving performance and honestly I would like to own a rotary at some stage but not as a daily driver. However I still don't quite understand how a rotary could ever be labelled as fuel efficient. It chews juice, infact i'd say that they'd chew as much juice as a V8 pumping out the same bhp.*

heh - that's not emotional. Without pissing in your pocket too much, I quite enjoy reading your posts. There's an eccentric touch to each post.
Thanks. Kind words.
It's clear you were also once a young and foolish (if entertainly spirited) driver of fast cars like myself -- lol
Looking back, I really feel old, I gotta tell ya. It doesn't help either that among the circle of friends on whom I rely for the occasional ride I have acquired the nickname "Belts" of late --

I don't know about this past tense business. I am still young(29's not old is it..) and extremely foolish.
Belts - I take it you're now a seat belt nazi
Damn it - you've got me chomping at the bit to get working on my car. Just added a new turbo, injectors etc and she's ready to be fired up and taken for a 'test drive'

Wrong. It's not just the expensive part ... it's the part with the emissions the car does. It burns a lot of oil and the polution is baaaaaaad.
There are a lot of lifts and commercial tools that are using small rotary engines right now.

Small rotary engines are the most fuel efficient solutions for what I talked above (lifts and such... mainly when you don't need to go 100 mph)
