your favorite cars are 2 '94 rx-7s? any 2 in particular? or just any 2?

just so you know, you're gonna get a lot of people saying the S-word (i'll give you a hint, i rhymes with birch and comes between rearch and tearch).

if you know nothing about FD's, i'd suggest grabbing a sandwich and soda, maybe a couple pots of coffee, and go read the stickies. have fun.

An FD is a rwd 2 seat coupe with 50/50 weight distribution.
An srt4 is a fwd 4 seater based on an econobox turd.
A wrx is an awd 4 seater sedan with assloads of body roll.
Go to www.dictionary.com and try to find 'rotory.'
You've got a lot to learn, I see many hours of searching in store for you

It will cost you about $10000 to get to the low 12's (that includes breaking some parts like the rear diff and maybe one motor).
