new RX-7 lineup

I was just checking out Mazda Japan's website and I noticed that they have made some changes to the the RX7 lineup. Instead of having the Type RS, Type R, etc. they now have the Spirit R type A, B, and C, and they still have the Type R Bathutst. The Spirit R type A is very similar to the Type RZ...It has the same recaro seats, same gunmetal BBS rims, etc, and is available in an exclusive new silver...very sexy The type A is basically the same as the Type RS and the Type C is the same as the type B except with auto trans Oh yeah...they now have crossdrilled rotors too...look pretty cool.

The Bathurst type R is basically the last of the normal ones(the 2000 type R`s). The just named it that to sell off the stock. Also The spirit R comes in A, B, and C, C is the automatic and the A and B are the same price around $32000 US. The wheels are Identical to the RZ. The only real differences are the brakes, they put a big brake kits on. The all have 280hp except for the C has 255hp.. ONE thing the Spirit R a new special paint and its the only model to come in that dark gray color. THE REST IS HISTORY.. If you ever have any question on Mazda parts or cars let me know, Im there almost every weekend...
LATE

dude canman6969 you are SOOOOOO wrong. Theyre different wheels. The Spirit R BBS's have recessed bolts, while the Type RZ BBS's are exposed in the center of the wheel. Plus the Type RZ rims are in black only, while the Spirit R rims come in titanium powdercoat as well as in silver. Get some glasses.

Yes Im in Japan..... Well thats not what Mazda says about the wheels. They said you can get all the models in all the new style wheels, he said the dark gray or the light grey.. I dont mean that old **** either, that looked like hub caps.. Im talking about the BBS with the mazda symbol in the middle.. Thanks
