I wish my car looked like that from the back. That is intimidating if I ever knew intimidating.

I love that wing, and the wheels. Ah hell, I love everything about that car! I'm sure its not slow but those rear tires look a little overkill considering its NA. Does anyone know specs on the motor?

Gorgeous rx7! If I ever stray from the stock body lines and get the money, I want to build my 7 similar to that. Love everything about that car! He should put a N/A PP 20b in there .

Good call man! 20B PP FTW!

Its got 346 PS so what 320hp? Not bad power seeing as it isn't PP'ed looking at the intake, could have some funky secondary port **** happening though

I liked it in black better...but red is nice. No IMSA GTU Porsche ever looked as good as as a GTU RX7...

"I liked it in black better...but red is nice. No IMSA GTU Porsche ever looked as good as as a GTU RX" ^^ very true man, rx7's seem to flow a little nicer and just look better, especially under the hood.

I took those pics at Riverside in 1980, still probably my favorite on my slideshow. I'm looking for the engine bay shots right now.

Here's skinny Al in '81 at Riverside...wish I could say this was mine. We waited what seemed forever for the "2 seat" Mazda...

Those were truly golden days to be around, and I knew it. These are good old days NOW, too...so all you guys soak it all in.

Don't wait for tomorrows...

The 2 '80 championship winning Racing Beat GTU cars in the garage at Riverside. That's Jim Mederer in "the hat". I consider him the Carroll Shelby of Mazda performance.

That imsa looks badass, but the front isn't as good as it could be. I like these better:
