Our first 7, How does it compare?

Hello all! My wife and I just bought a 1984 RX-7 with the 12A. Nether of us has ever driven a 7, and wanted to see if you all could compare it to another car as far as performance. Its going to be a few weeks before we can drive the car (it sat for 2 years) and I'm getting anxious! I'm most curious about the handeling. I've owned a IROC Z, '94, '96, '99 Vette, ZQ8 Sonoma, Mustang GT, Honda CRX, and have driven a few other "sport cars".

Will it compare to any of the above as far as handling?

Looking foward to burn some 7 rubber,
Ben

Its like a Vette, just without those 8 annoying pistons in the way of fun. Imagine if your CRX was Rear Wheel Drive....and it should be pretty close.

About as much power as the CRX, and gas mileage of the vette
