distance between front tow hooks?
Does anyone know? or could somebody please measure? I am going to pick up my first rx7 (yea!) with a tow bar, and I need to know how wide it needs to be.
Thanks

If you want to do it safely, get a tow dolly or trailer. The tow hooks won't cut it for any distance, other than around town. If that's the case, I use a tow strap, only if the towed car has working brakes.
I can't believe anyone would seriously encourage you to use a tow bar. Get a clue gentlemen.

There is nothing wrong with a tow bar that is properly attached and reinforced. Just attaching something to the tow hooks is not a good idea.
It wouldn't cost too much to rent a dolly from uhaul to get the job done.

When I pulled the Barracuda, I was using a 76 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4. Almost missed an entrance ramp to the interstate at 55 mph, jammed the brakes and turned. The tow bar held, but the rear of the pickup started to break loose. Not a comfortable feeling. I have doubts that a 1st gen would have held up in the same situation, even if it was bolted to the frame horns.
