Petrolicious, do Mazda RX7 posts that shows this car's performance like you do with the Porsches. I had a 1986 base model with the 5-speed standard transmission, no turbo, front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, that I was just fixing. That car was 18 years old when I made the unwise decision to sell it. Even at that age, that RX7 would do 140mph. Once you get into 4th gear and over 4000 rpms, the accelleration is amazing! That car had almost 50/50 weight distribution, and was the most stable and confidence inspiring at high speeds and curvy roads. This is the next car that I will purchase. Other RX7 guys know what I mean.

[@rickhunter6513]

Yes please!

[@nutsackmania]

Your n/a RX-7 would not do 140mph. I've driven many of them--no way. Even the factory documentation doesn't support that.

Awesome! I'm proud to say I have 1 of the 1500 10th Anniversary T2 RX7's made. There's probably not many of them left. There's definitely not very many on the FC 10th AE registry on the RX7Club forum. Mine has been modified by previous owners and not feasible to return to original condition. It will however always look like the 10th AE that it is and always have a rotary heartbeat! It may have an additional rotor or maybe 2 but it will brap as long as I own it!

The first RX-7 was definitely a 924 clone but by this time I think Mazda was going for more of a 944 look. It's funny how similar the Mazda RX7, Nissan 240sx, third gen Toyota Supra looked.

[@oregongaper]

I was the youngest child and by the time I turned 16 and got my license and a job, my folks were done with parenting and did there own thing, and I did mine. One day they came home and my mom says, "We bought a new car and you're never ever going to drive it. EVER!" (Things were a bit frosty between us by then) I waited several hours to go down to the garage, and there sat a white '87 Turbo II, almost identical to this car. So I open the door, sit in it, and looked at the visor. Someone, presumably a salesman had slipped a key into a slot put there for that very purpose. Naturally I took the key and it was never mentioned by either of them. They made a big production of taking all the keys to the neighbor when they went on trips on their motorcycles or in the RV, and I had a key all the while. Because they were so sure I didn't have access to it, they never checked the mileage. I had some great times in that car.

[@reezevlog]

when i was a kid...the first time i saw this car on the road (a white one)..i thought it was a Porsche 944...for few years, the white RX7 was a 944 in my head...till one day i took a good look at it..n saw a word Mazda and RX7.....this car this in my shopping lists......

I bought one of these new. Was styled just like the Porsches at the time. I think they made under 1000 of them. Was the first car I bought after college. It became too expensive to keep after 11 yrs - The paint peeled badly on the hood, the whole exhaust had rusted out, and the injectors started leaking to prevent warm starts. I really loved the car and I still miss it.
