Thanks Rynberg

I'd like to thank rynberg (moderator) for my first flame and for closing my last post. As I don't see these cars very much and have never ridden in one, I thought the question about a RX7 vs a RTTT would be valid, since someone out there has had probably both cars.

Ok i found it, his name is Trevor Pm him and im sure he can give you some highs and lows of both cars. You could also do a search on his name and posts will come up where he talks of both, as he has taken both to the tracks.

^scroll down to "Buying an RX7". Alot of good info to get your started.
Re: questions on your previous thread......Though I don't have alot of time in the VR4, I have driven both in stock form (in-law works for Mitsubishi). IMHO the FD is much lighter and feels like it. Seemed alot quicker than the VR4 in turn-in and overall handling. Pretty close in a straight line... 0- 60 at least. Overall, I though the FD was just alot more fun but a bit more cramped maybe for a DD.
If you can find a well maintained low mileage car, that hasn't been heavily modded, many here have gotten more than 100k on a motor. Costs for me haven't been too bad so far, much less than the figures you were given, but then I'm still essentially stock. Mostly just reliability mods (info also in stickys) and regular maintanence and repair myself.
Good luck.

Actually, that was not your question. Your question was on the maintenance and engine longevity of the 3rd Gen RX7. Those questions and others about maintenance are all in the FAQ thread.

That is why the thread was closed as the answers to those questions are already provided in the forum FAQ. If you have questions that aren't already answered in that FAQ, then ask away but read the FAQ first.

Ryberg is a very knowledgeble and senior member of this forum. Before getting upset, I think you might want to take a step back, do some reading, then start asking more "informed" questions.

Good luck on your quest....

I'm closing this thread (like I would for any personal attack threads, not just because it's me) and will reopen your other one for now. If you have any problems with me, please shoot me a PM.

"Trevor" has a highly modified Stealth RT and a modified FD.
