'Dyou guys know that Mazda limits the rev of the RX-7 because of tranny, not because of engine?? That Wankel thing can seriously wind out... Always loved the RX-7, but never owned one. Great car -- too bad the last generation didn't have a convertible top.

(too expensive tho)

[oink]The Wankel is a brilliant engine. Not from and efficiency point of view but an amazing engineering of an engine. Imagine and engine that drive around as opposed to up and down from the beginning.[/oink]

I am pretty sure that he would have blown me away in second gear ..... he was seriously pulling away from me each time !!! [/oink]

Really? I'm surprised. I would have thought an S would do in an RX7.

I had a fun drive to work... went the twisties way. Played in the corners with a WRX who eventually let me by. There was also a Red S just ahead but in traffic by the time I caught him.

You should get one of those rocket packs. That way you don't have to worry about parking.

Either that or you could get a hover bike, then you an park anywhere you want and never have to drive your train to work.
