Review

Great car. If you get one, make sure you do all the reliability mods at the least. Do more if you want more like me! =D It's a blast to drive and always gets attention. I've had someone take pictures of my car while i was driving on the highway. Like I said, it's a great car and if you are an enthusiast that likes to wrench and knows how to maintain the vehicle then you shouldn't have a problem.

Favorite Features

Looks great and performs great. Nice and light.

Suggested Improvements

The cooling system. The intercooler is prone to heat soak and is inefficient when running over stock boost. Umm maybe a single turbo to get rid of that rat nest of vacuum hoses.

Review

My rx-7 is stock but has cold air intake quiet muffler. I had a full 3"exhaust w no cats last time I went to the track 6year old tires. Boost is 11psi. This car could lap faster than the LT-1 93,94 ZR-1 (Slightly modded to 440HP according to the owner), 5.0 mustang. The gearing in 3rd allows about 110mi/hr and I had to hit 4th on the top end of the track at Holtville. I could carry more speed coming out to the straight than all other street cars. The ZR-1 could pull slightly more during exit but I was even on the top end and I could delay braking and would shoot by at the end into the sharp turn after the straight. Braking at 115mph and handling easly makes up a tenth 0- 60 accel.

balanced performance and light weight = greatness at any price

Review

I've had my 93 RX7 for 14 years now and agree with the others, I still get excited just looking at it. Other than replacing my engine with a JSpec 2 years ago, I've had nothing but fun and good luck with my baby. Young guys stand in awe of the car everywhere I go and it still turns heads when I drive it. Get one if you can and you'll see what all the hype is about. Thank you Mazda for building the best car ever!

Favorite Features

The acceleration is second to none. Supposedly the fastest accelerating production car of its time. I believe it.

Suggested Improvements

None really.

Review

Bought this car fully built with single turbo and other mods and I love it 480whp at 17psi, it's great. The feel of the car pulling is amazing. The car is firm on the road and is a blast to drive.

Favorite Features

I love the sound of the rotary engine when you get on it and the looks it gets.

Suggested Improvements

If you want power do a single turbo mod.

Review

These cars are simply amazing, way ahead of their time. This car is very reliable! If you take care of it like you should it will last you a while! Do your research on this car to get to know it. They need more attention than regular cars, if you follow them you won't have any problems. I drive a 400hp RX-7 on a stock motor running 14 lbs. Brakes/handling are simply amazing! They are gas guzzlers, mine gets 10 in the city but it's always better to run a little rich on rotaries! Would not buy it if you don't know these cars! You need to use a rotary specialty shop.

Favorite Features

Looks. Brakes. Handling. Sound. Power!!

Suggested Improvements

More durable interior. Better gas mileage (but it's a rotary they naturally use more).
