Too bad I didn't know that earlier. Blaze red is what I wanted (and found).

There's lots of verts in MN, they just go into hiding during winter. There are 2 or 3 in this neighborhood alone

Too bad import laws are stricter in the United States. I just bought a 1991 Savanna [Mazda] Rx7 GTX from japan. Its the japanese version of the North american t2, except it comes stock with 217hp/204 ft·lb. Not sure exactly what is differant to make it preform a little bit better, but im sure its to do with fuel/boost. Its an exellent condition black on black which i picked up for about half the price as what the normal price is. Cheers good luck with your search
