I'm gonna try to shoot for a 98 GS-t with low miles if possible. But no matter what, it's gonna be turboed and it's gonna kick the sh!t outta my celi. If need be, i'm gonna sell my celi and leave everything in it, ie. intake, exhaust, blah blah blah. I don't really think this is news breaking info, but just heads up for whoever cares.

I will take on all with my rear-wheel drive twin turbo rotary powered RX7 Twin Turbo. It will desemate your eclipses. As you guys reach around 7k to shift on your DSM..I will be reaching 8.5k when I think about shifting. I win. lol. I guess if you're going for what everyone else has, get an Eclipse/Talon/Laser. Whatever floats your boat, just what floats my boat is having something you don't see all the time.

what is it with people and high redlines?

it doesnt mean ****.

sure, 3rd gen rx7's a nice and fast with a good performance engine but high revving means nothing unless u have a v12 ferrari.

also, while your rx7 may make high HP, it will never have torque. no car is perfect and IMHO, an awd dsm will always be better than an rx7. more displacement, awd, believe it or not, better reliability.

i know that car choice is personal preference but people should understand how things work. dont put down another car purely for the reason that it is common(btw i dont see too many turbo eclipses) camaros and mustangs are everywhere. all of them can be made fast.

i know of plenty of cars with 5.5k redlines that will own an rx7 anyday of the week. HP sells cars, torque wins races. some people may not like that saying, but its true, and so is the no replacement for displacement saying.

its a nice car, but dont be an ass about it.

i agree with what you said except for the DSMs ALWAYS being better than a RX-7. RX-7s are possably one of the easiest cars to work on motor wise if you know what you are doing, it only has 3 moving parts. back in 91 Renown's Mazda 787B was the first japanese (and only one since) manufactured winner of the 24 Hours at Le Mans, and guess what, it was rotary. i think that says something about the potential of these motors.

i agree

with both.

each car has its advantages and disadvantages.

and redline doesnt mean that its faster. most cars actually lose power as they get into the higher revs. and the highest torque is usually mid revs.

and about popularity I have seen 4 third gen RX-7's here and 4 (not including mine) 2G dsms

one was gs-t, one is gsx, and the other two are Gs's.

the town i live in is about 150K people.
