Too many other car choices would fall in that price range. Would rather get an FD if I were going to spend that much. Or a maybe 400hp V8 32 Ford kit car, or a used Vette, or...well you get my point.

NEGATIVE. unless it had, say, a jet engine in it...or a flux capacitor...something along those lines. otherwise, that car would only be reasonable for at MOST $10k.

that's just in my opinion.

one of the primary reasons i love rx-7s so much is the fact that they're dirt cheap.

I'd consider paying that much for a showroom condition 79 LE with less than 100 original miles on the odometer...

...

I hate the idea of an 8 cylinder swap .... let alone paying $20,000 for it (even $20,000 cdn).

Whoever that is needs to rethink the price...

Just my two cents (american )

I think he's trying to make money off this. I see this selling for 7-8g's. I think I can build a faster car for $20g's.

**** no.

But I have to admit, the Torque Thrust II's, and the Cowl look quite bad *** on a black FB.

But he can keep the damn car for $20k. He's lost his damn mind.
