Sweet, that is awesome

 

That is great. Its nice to see the automotive industry that has preached forward thinking for years, has finaly opened up their eyes to actually accknolage real forward thinking, and not just american HP, or European Gearing

 

That made my day. Heh, "2.5-litre to 3-litre" Capacity Class Award. Hehe close enough.

 

Hooray to Mazda and the Rotary Engine!

 

good news for the rotary world!

 

That's what happens when you live under a rock. Geeezz..... it's about time they noticed!

its great to see that the ol' rotor motor is making a comeback. With its increased fuel economy and less emissions, I think it will do much better this time around.

 

I agree. Also, these days we have the internet and almost anyone can search for the Renesis and learn how cool it is. A bit different from the '70s.

 

Yeah its pretty cool, and the car runs quite good, I drove one But jesus 32,000 dollars... I think they can keep them. Same reason they stopped selling the 7 in the US was decreased sales, and market analyists said it was mainly the price of them.. Well well see if the market is different now.

 

I thought they were going for a bit less than that, like around $28,000. Of course with options......

 

yeah the rx-7 was around $40,000 when it left here, and $32,000 is the price for the fully loaded model.

I believe they start around 27-28k. The japanese sports car market is far different than it was back then too.

 

You drove an 8?! How didja manage that? Impressions? Talk man will ya!!!!

 

How did I manage what? I walked into the showroom and said I wanna drive that Not to mention everyone there knows me as a rotary guru, not to mention I drove up in a brand new $20k Corolla Type S, and they know I have money to pay for it, with a credit rating over 800 and I work for toyota and make jack LOL But anyways, they take a small credit ap from someone with credit like mine and throw you the keys

Well it was ummm very impressive, handling was like ******* awesome. The power was very very good, I was resoundingly impressed with a NA motor... I swear in ways it was close to my Cosmo POS. It was nice to hear the rotary humm muted by the catalytic exhaust Actually to tell the truth I considered purchasing it, but couldnt bring myself to spend $32k on a car... especially with back seats... Kinda runied it for me.

Oh and by the way it will bark 2nd and 3rd, not to mention I took it to about 130mph and it had ZERO problems getting there...
