What I would give for those magazines...

"Outruns Datsun 280Z and Porsche 924..."

That brings a smile to your face.

You may wanna double check those years, I believe it was '95 in the states, leading C&D to make that assumption.

Hey guys the magazines are free if you guys who have one will get off your butts and scan them in. High resolution preferred.

How 'bout it Dave, I haven't read those two.

if i can figure out the scanner i'll post them. i may just snap some pics if i cant get the scanner to work.

for reference, the 84-85 GSL-SE had 135hp and 133lb/ft torque. the last year for the RX-7 in the U.S. was in fact 1995.
