I'd prefer a 1994 PEG but outta the list, the 1994 R2.

95 R2 no doubt about it, make it black or silver/black and I'd sell my soul for it!

For an attention getter there can't be any RX-7 better than a CYM R1.

For auto-xing in general I like R1s the color doesn't make it any faster.

For cruising and back roads I like Touring or PEG/PEP models, sunroof and leather is nice.

For stop and go traffic an automatic Touring is nice, easy to drive.

I've had all the models listed.

10 FDs so far...

I love my 93 montego base. I has the front lip, no spoiler, and no sunroof. took me about 4 months to find it.

Because I know I will mod it fairly extensively, a '93 base.

Have one in black/black, but would prefer silver/black probably.

I would prefer the '95 R2, but if I was getting a RX-7 I woulded really mind which one i got, because RX-7's are very rare.

ahhh.. the 95 R2.... About a year ago, there were 2 of those in VR at a local dealer. Both had just over 4,000 miles. nope, that's not a typo.. 4,000. I know one of them ended up selling for $27K. originally, they wanted $35K... just thinking about missing out on that makes me want to cry

None of those, 1995 PEP, like I have. No bose or rear wiper but leather, sunroof, cruise, and foglights. Also no rear wing (I like the wingless look) and no front lip (I almost scrape my driveway w/o one). Did wish I had the dual oil coolers though.
