Uhh...Not my religion, but I'd like to beat on it some

Interesting hybrid morph, I'd say. Bet it hauls ***. Some nice work, you have to admit.

i really don't like that style of wide body...its way way too wide. i do like the way this kit incorporates side skirts into it though, then again it would look pretty bad without, since the door is sooo offset to the rest of the car.

ah well, just my opinion.

it disgust me to see an rx7 with a v8 in it. theres a first gen with a 302 in it near me the guy is trying to sale for $5500, which hell never get. one i first saw it i didnt know it had a v8 and he said he wanted so much cause of what was under the hood and when he showed me i voiced my opinion harshly before i could stop myself.

I agree, too wide, but alas it is his car, be it a poor choice for engines, a 351W would better suit it if a person were to go that route.....
I wouldn't want to race it where the track is a straight shot.

I just like the description of how most people hate the rotary engine and lust after a muscle car.

Hate it for two main reasons:
1) Any Euro-style license plate on a car not in europe annoys the hell out of me
2) Any Euro-style license plate on a car that says "PHAT" annoys the hell out of me.

Oh, and the taillights are fugley.

Exactly...other than that I would paint it a difffent color and it would be ****** sexy. Only other small thing is that I would rather have a 20b under that hood.

LOL this guy must of made this car, drove it for 100 miles and the rotary gods haunted him so now hes selling it.... Either that or he realized he took a sweet car and threw tons of money into it only to realize he needed that money for something else so hes trying to get 1/10 his money back... I dont get why someone who put that much money and effort in a car would just turn around and sell it... Well I guess people have their reasons though....

I dont like the look at all, wide and yuck... it could seriously look a lot better... dont mind too much about the v8, it would go hard, but the heart, soul and body of that 7 are long gone.

I never liked that kit. The rear, its just to unaturally big and square. The lights in the back of the car, ugly. At least with the original lights it would of looked better, but no they opted for a cheap kit car look. I'm not a big fan OF V-8's, but if they would of left it underneath the hood without the scoop it would of been ok. All in all, I rate this car, well a number can't describe this one. How about an abortion of great magnitude.

The tails are ugly as hell. The car needs a different color and all the inside removed so it can be put to the test on a track. With that much power I would have to say my old 79 sa (Now living in Ga with a new owner) would spank that thing all over a scca track.

Honestly, the only part that would keep me from buying this car (other than the fact that I already have a project), are the taillights.... It would take a bunch of work to put something presentable back there....
