limited Edition vs non

Alright ive bin looking and looking to see the difference between the limted edition rx7's and the non. i have a 1983 limted edtion but i want to know what makes it different then the others.

Also my friend tells me that ive only got 100hp but ive never felt a hundred hp car go this quick for stock and supposbly i also run a 17sec in the 1/4 since when do 17 sec cars chirp 2nd gear?

Yes to your questions. 101 hp 107 lbs/ft of torque. You have a one time only Chatuea Silver with pinstriping and red interior. Your wheels are also one time only. Yes it chirps 2nd and will run 17's

We have a special paint color Chateau Silver Metallic, and it came with cast aluminum 14 inch rims. That may not seem like a big deal, but back in the 80's it was.

There were only 5000 of these made.

The LE is just a better 7 than the rest, hands down! lol

1983 Limited Edition FTW!!!


If you want to know more, I have the dealer window sticker right here in front of me

Matt had to go and cheat I see how it is LOL. Wouldn't mind owning an LE myself but I'd have to ditch the red interior!

The 83 LE is a gussied up GS model.Here are the major differences.

Chateau Silver paint w/pinstripe
Sunroof
Maroon velour interior
14" alloy wheels
limited edition badging
upgraded stereo system w/equilizer

That is pretty much it.The biggest thing is the wheels as far as I am concerned as they are good looking,and 14".The funny thing is 5000 is a large number to be called "limited" in my opinion.I have seen so many LE's that I am convinced it is nothing special.
