Aight...Later
thats exactly how much it is estimated to last. I mean how you treat it will also play a factor as well maintenance.

Cool...Would daily "spirited driving" mess up the reliability of it?

Like in my RSX-S, I'd spend a nice 10 or so minutes per day driving it HARD(eg- avg RPM 5500 or so). I mean its a sports car for a reason, right?

in the rotary world 5500 is NOT hard.. 8k is what you consider HARD on our engines... abd they like it too!

yeah, FAIChamp, I have a suggestion. Don't get an rx7. If you totaled an rsx you'll kill yourself in an rx7

Here is what happened with the RSX-S...I was driving home...It was raining VERY VERY HEAVILY...Lots of traffic...I was going about 50...Then started slowing down for traffic...Rolled through a puddle as i was slowing down and started to hydroplane...AND..."NOTHING ELSE MATTERS"

Its not like I was being a dumbass going 100mph on a city street...Shoot, famoso raceway is only 12 miles away.

I dunno how many of you guys have actually driven both 14s n/s fwd car and 14s turbo rwd car, but the way rwd and fwd pulls is very different. Also ways in which turbo cars, supercharged, n/a and nitrous cars pulls is way different as well.

So unless you have driven all those, u can't judge which one will be faster by just feeling the car's pull in the passenger seat. Riding shotgun and actually driving the car is also very very different.

I'd say...stock to stock it'll be a pretty even match(drivers being equal), but the result will differ depending on anything from altitude to ambient temperature.

With I/H/E for RSX-S and I/E/DP/MP for T2, hands down T2.
