Not the FC or FD

But the FB, thought was cool so decided to share

as the quick write up says:

"The Series 3 RX-7 powered by the 13B turbo rotary engine was a wonderfully entertaining ride. The tiny flyweight body weighed just over a ton, offered drivers the tossability of a 50/50 weight distribution, and all of 135 hp. The rotary engine loved to rev, and aside from oil consumption, it remains a reliable mill. So smooth was the Wankel engine, a warning buzzer alerted the driver when approaching the 7000 rpm redline."

cool to be in the same list as a Aston Martin DB Mark III and others

not the greatest write up but when you consider the source like I said it was pretty cool

I saw that write-up and laughed since we never had factory turbos here but if we did the car would have been on more lists than this one but still nice to see recognition of our 27+ year old cars
