If I had the money I would come down to Fresno, buy it and put it in my garage for something to do over winter.

Great car for someone wanting something different

I wonder about the hp to weight ratio

I wonder if that body is as light as the Miata

I would'a done a stick trans

I'd also want fi over carb for tuning/gas mileage reasons

Never the Less ... Great Idea and lots of potential

There's a local guy here with one of those cars and 351W in it.

They are similar to the Miata's weight. In the 2300-2600 range I think. I had one and it was fun as hell, even with the tiny 1.1L rotary.

if my math is correct(darn kilograms),the RX7 is about 300lbs heavier than a 95 miata.

Lol try having a speaker box with two speakers in it in the trunk with groceries and a 186lbs friend with a 170lbs friend in there plus yourself. You really feel it.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

I helped a friend build one of those cars with a 385cid stroker Chevy engine and a T-56. It was a badass car, I'll put up pics when I can find them, but they are on my desktop and I'm out of town for the next two weeks. My dream car is an FD with an LS1.
