Wow, not an Rx7 but had to post

Was out at sebring for the historic race, and saw this in a tent with a bunch of old GTP cars from the 80's

Its a Porsche 962 ex race car converted for the street.

800 hp on a watercooled head Twin Turbo flat six, race tranny, brakes

2300lbs, i read about these back in the 90's never thought i would see one

I think that is the most beautiful car I have ever seen.

Four rotor? If you would modify that, you would be an idiot.

Can you imagine being stuck behing that in traffic?

When I go to car shows and see the machines that inspired me as a kid, it just makes my spine tingle.
These are from the Monterey Historics last summer.

FTW!

Those designers are gods and should be worshiped by all humanity.

Designers of the Pinto, Aztech, PT Cruiser Convertible... should be chained up and forced to watch videos of those cars in action with edited in portions of their designs being destroyed in a variety of creative ways.
