Unhappy Dimensions

Dear All,

I'm sitting at my desk creating an impression of working very hard (furiously typing) and need your help.

My race car is stored some distance from home/work and I need some basic dimensions so that I can buy a trailer.

I've got a 1981 series II (downunder remember) RX7. What is the: wheel base? track width? and overall length? Many thanks.

Brett

That 75 inches is the overhang from the centre of the tire to the leading and the trailing edge of the car. So that 75 inches works out to
37 inches for the front and another 37 inches for the rear (give or take). Sounds right to me...


I pulled the figures off the brochure for an '85.
