Either way its a topic on forum and I'm not the moderator so take up where it should be with one of them.

Either way, the mazda is a car worthy talking about imho. Its nissans true direct competitor and deserves respect. The RX7 was a honda/nissan/toyota owners worst track nightmare in the 90's. Held the world land speed record while the motor was modded and the body was still mostly stock. People have short memories to stuff like this. I want the rx7 back as a
Competitor. The rx8 was crap next to the last gen rx7.

If those stats are correct that would be a damn fun car to drive. Handling would be mind blowing. Hopefully Mazda can keep with it and keep the car light, its time cars start shedding major lbs...

I'm a fan boy of the RX-7, had about 5 of them including a Turbo II. Wonder the price and if the engine is going to be improved especially those APEX seals and heat issues.

Plus the price for the performance. Don't look to bad in the pics.

That one is the Touring with the Sport Package and special paint. If you get a scratch the whole car has to be painted and tow to a secret place that only Mazda knows..

Those pics are of the upcoming RX-9 which is supposed to be the RX-8's replacement. I have yet to see a photo of the RX-7 other than the concept pics, which look amazing. Don't think I like the RX-9 too much, I still prefer the RX-8 styling.
