Once My car breaks 450RWHP, I will be parking it and driving it only as often as the days' are perfect!
Yeah that's right silver 450... :P Just had to upstage you... And If I hit 500 then there is not way I will be driving it Very rarely... And it will garaged for the rest of my natural life. And then it is time to start on the rest of my rotary powered car's and mini van...

Maybe I'll sell my car in a month, a year, 3 years, who knows. I've "owned" 4 RX7's in 9 months...

But I will definitely always stay with rotaries all my life.

the FC was my first car. but since now that i got a t2 i will be selling my first FC. but the rx7 will be my first car forever and i will always want these cars till the day i die. maybe a different generation, or maybe not even a rx7. but i will always drive at least one rotary powered car.

I don't plan on selling my FC ever. It's not like I'm gonna get $50k for selling it, and I don't think it's gonna be easy to find another mint condition low mileage t2 like mine Plus I just love FCs and always sorta wanted one RX-7 has always been my dream car. I kept saying that even when I had my MKIV Supra. I was thinking about getting an FD before I got my FC but there is something about FCs that make me want it more than FDs... so here's what I ended up with

Oh yeah. After I bought my FC, my parents were like, "I can probably give you some money if you wanna sell that car and get a newer car." Well, of course, my reply was: "Hell no. I love this car "

I've had my '86 since new. Rebuilt rotary at 117,000, now has over 210,000 and will blow the doors off all the nitrous/rice rockets in my area. I'll never let it go, even tho it's semi-retired, it's still a kick to take it out and feel the rush!

I bought my Sport FC S4 in 1987. Still, have it. Can't find a 2-seater, sports car, rearwheel drive, hardtop by design that has better performance than my Rx7 for under $50K. So, I will keep it.

The Rx8 is a "family" car that is childseat ready. Oh well. It's not a two seater.

This car catches eyes where ever it goes, the reason is i think i live in pa and no one sees these cars go by no more what a shame

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm never selling my Turbo II. I will have this car for the rest of my life. I spent $4300 on the paint job, but the car cost $2700. That tells you right there that I have no plans in selling. And I also plan to NEVER put a LAME V8 in my Turbo II. I BURN V8 mustangs, and have nipped at Camaros. Once I get my front mount and Haltech and my TO4 installed I will have tuned at KRD out here in San Jose and reach my 380hp goals!! Oh yeah can't forget the fuel I have 550cc and 1600cc with walbro
