Probably an old school Datsun 1600 with an SR20DET. Or an Escort RS2000.

Actually, if it wasn't an Rx-7 it would probably be an R-100, Rx-2 or Rx-3.

I'd be driving either a mid 90's Mustang, or a 240sx.

Haha, technically that question doesnt rule out RX-2's, 3's, 4's, Cosmo's, or REPU's. So being the rotary lover I am...one of those. LOL

Here I though everybody was in love with their car's unique engine and it turns out a bunch of you just liked the shape of the car. LOL I love sevens but they're too small, if they didn't have a Rotary engine I woudn't give it the time of day. You can guess how I feel about Datsun Z cars. If I'm driving or tinkering with something else it's gonna be one of my Thunderbird SC's or Big Block Siverado HD.

P.S. I'm 5'10" and 179 lbs. but I like my space.

Very interesting reply's, I no longer drive an RX for now and am driving a 1991 240SX. I am very surprised at the amount of votes for the 240, before I got this car I never even considered one or even looked at one. I must say though it is a very nice car, handles well and is quite good looking. I will once again have a rotary but for now this is a nice way to go.
