First Drive: 1986 Mazda RX-7 (Motor Trend)
I haven't read it yet but I'm sure it's interesting.

plus:
Editor's Note: This year, Mazda celebrates its 90th anniversary and along with an extensive retrospective coming on May 20, we've gone through the archives to bring you a look at several classic Mazdas from the 70s and 80s.
I posted the 1st gen article yesterday in the 1st gen section. There's also an article on the '72 RX-2.

That's an interesting article. It's always fun to see what the automotive writers of the day thought of the FC RX-7. Also interesting to note that a good chunk of the article is spent explaining the virtues of DTSS, though many owners today prefer to disable it. I remember that when the FC came out, nearly everyone was critical of the styling which I admit is very derivative of the 944. However I think for some reason, the looks of the FC have aged a little more gracefully.
thanks!

my neighbor says its the most advanced car you can get in 1987, and i think that might be right, the 750IL didn't arrive until 1988.
