rx-7 spirit r

Ok im just going to ask the question straight out is there anyway of getting the spirit r or even the rz here in the states. i know how the laws work so it should be easy but are they hard to find.... im new to the rx-7 seen but holy **** that car is just plain beatiful i would give everyhing for one. So im asking seriously what are my chances of getting one. oooo yeah and im new here so hi everyone.
if anyone has any idea where i could get one then please tell i will be so greatfull. (sp) im not looking to sell my car till next year but i figure i might as well get a head start since this will be kind of hard finding one....

I called yesterday, they're out of stock .

But seriously it would be much easier to buy the Spirit R components then to try and locate a Spirit R and attempt to import it. And if you search you'll find other info about people that dreamed about importing a Spirit R.

would never be road legal, could only be used on the tracks.
i'm from NZ, but that would be what we'd have here (but of course, we CAN get them here, sorry everyone!).

give up, buy the bodykit and wheels and make your own. cheaper in the long run.
only thing you'll be missing is the badging (and maybe the exact seats).

i would be legal here since it already technically is here (the 93-95's that the usa got) and the law to importing cars says if the car already here its fine if i import it. and plus i know some people. the only thing is i need the authetic thing not just make a fake one. which there is nothing wrong with that but i need the right hand drive. and i don't dream about getting it i will have it its just i need some help. and if i can't get (and that after ive done all i could) i will end up getting a nissan silvia s15. and no i don't just want a drifter car.... i mean that stuff is awsome but i just love the look of the cars and that all i really want.... a car whenever i look at it it buts a smile on my face and the s15 and rx-7 in my opinion are the most beatiful cars ever made. so im just here asking for help since i fiqured at least one of u would know a person that knows where to locate one of the spirit r or at least and rz

First of all, do a search:

.

Second, this subject has been asked and covered more times than you could take a **** in a week. Third: it probably can be done if you have enough money, but if you had that kind of money you wouldn't be on here asking this question.

No, it's not. Search for "import" and the username "domfd3s".
