25 years old.. 93 silver touring. This is my second RX-7, first one was a 1981 when I was 18.. drove that through most of my college years. Then moved on to modding MKIII Supras, great cars, I loved the two that I had in four years. It was not too hard to make them real fast, but they can't take a turn for their life. And oh.. those BHG's. Daily driver is a late 80's Integra, 190,000 and ticking.

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really didn't expect so many young FD owners. But, it's not like it's a Viper. I am really envious of you people. I almost bought one about 6 months ago. But I decided to wait until after I'm in the Air Force for a year or two. So I bought an
02 CBR F4i instead. I love FD's and will own one but there is NOTHING like riding a sportbike.

Ya ya, this is my first post, I am new to this forum. Suprised to see so many young 7 owners. At 16 I bought a grand am, but by 17 had a 93 base model 7. When i graduated high school i sold it and took on a loan on a 98 mustang cobra conv, yellow, and threw on the saleen speedster package. A wreckless op for smoking my tires at a light, and about 5 speeding tickets in less than 2 years convinced me to sell it, although having a conv was almost too fun, i missed the precision of the 7. Bought a black R1 this past dec, and i currently have an Apexi Gt spec CB, and apexi intake, along with the basic reliablilty mods. O ya, age...21 in a week, will grad college in about a year with a finance major, so hopefully the money will start rollin in so i can build this car up....

The whole world knew what the Rx-7 looked like even in '90-'91 when Mazda started cold weather testing it, that gave Dodge 4 years to copy the design and release the Viper a year after the 3rd Gen rx-7!! LOOK AT THE LINES ON A VIPER AND RX-7, THEY ARE SO MUCH ALIKE, THE DOUBLE-BUBBLE ROOFLINE, THE DOOR HANDLES, THE DIPS IN THE HOOD, ETC, DODGE JUST TOOK THE RX-7 AND EXAGGERATED ALL THE LINES AND TOOK ALL THE CREDIT!

My love for RX-7s started with the 3rd gen when I was about 11 or 12.
I am now 16, and barely scraped up the $2800 to buy my FC.
How do you 18-19 year olds afford an FD? I have a good job, but I cant imagine saving that much. I can make maybe 500/month school and 1000/month summer but **** that is still only $7500 a year, before any spending!
How do you guys do it? I want a 3rd gen real bad..

The first viper came out in 89 (thanks Bob Lutz!) and it went into production as a 1992 model. I dont see how the Viper copying off the RX-7 comes from. I see a slight resemblence, but not much
Now the C5 I see a slight copy of the RX-7 but the C5 is still very different looking than a 3rd gen

I'm glad to know I am not the only "old geezer" 
here who knows how to enjoy life -- on the open road with a fast car and a pretty woman. I too am outside my twenties. I am 34. I am amazed at how many of you guys are under 25. If I had the money for my FD when I was 25, I would have been in a lot more trouble.

Who dug up this thread? 17, 18 in a couple weeks. Bought my 94 Touring Silver on Red leather (1 of 20) with my own money. Came with an auto. Had a 5 speed conversion done. Saving my money for some tires for my auto x race. So far my Nitto 555R's have lasted almost a couple weeks and they are getting close to bald. And I haven't even used them on a track yet. So, mods will have to wait for now.
