Hi, awesome lookin site you have, was wondering if you could help me with some questions i have. I am shopping around for a new car to pick up, and have narrowed it down to two, a new wrx or a 3rd gen rx-7. most of the rx-7's i have found are in the 70,000+ miles. how reliable are these cars at that high of mileage, this car will be my one and only dailydriver, all day everyday, not a track car only, so reliabilty is a must.

also, what kind of et's are these cars putting up stock? im not a stranger to most auto boards, and i have seen a plethora(sp?) of stories of super low et supras and rx-7's, but never really stock. Also, whats it take to hit low13s maybe high 12s?(thats where i want to get and stay) and anywhere i could read some information on rx-7? my mom had an rx-3 way back when, and loved that, so i figure this car can only be better! and plus, it looks sooo badass.

anway thanks again

 

i would suggest you do a search on this subject or look back a few pages because it's been discussed quite a few times. you should also check out www.rx7turboturbo.com/robrobinette for info on buying/problems/etc. if you want a reliable car i'd suggest a wrx. most rx-7 are at least 8 or 9 years old now. they are just plain getting old and things are starting to wear out. having said that the rx-7 kicks the wrx's *** performance wise anyday

 

Reading this leads me to think a WRX would be better suited to your needs. WRX are great cars and quite capable. I do want to point out that RX-7s are reliable but they take alot of care and the fact that all RX-7s now are used you NEVER know what you are gonna get. That's why you buy NEW! Either way let us know how you make out.

 

this question comes up about every week. Do a search. You will see ton of info.

 

thanks. ya i was starting to figure as much. its a shame tho, because everytime i look at a rx-7, i cry, because these cars are gorgeous. you guys are lucky
