Long time lurker, finally made an account.
I've been looking into rx7s for a while, but I ended up getting a corvette around December because I needed a reliable daily driver other than my gsxr 750.
I'm looking into buying a 400-500HP rx7 within the next 4 weeks, so I can finish off my list of dream cars.
After the rx I'm probably going to save up for a 2017 z06 in black rose metallic.
If anyone has any advice on single turbo rx7s, feel free to chime in!
Edit: After this will I finally be able to post in other sections? I already found some nice rx7s that I was pretty interested in.

Well I already have a big v8, and I frequently drive my buddies supercharged cobra, and I don't really care for how they make power.
It just doesn't feel that exciting. But getting on my GSXR, that feeling of really getting into the powerband and having is just suuurge ahead, that's what I like.
So a high boost rx7 just seems perfect. I like the power coming on suddenly like that. And I already drive a supercharged car, may as well add in a turbo'd car.
Also, on a funny note, they look like adorable little corvettes, so I'll have a vette and a lil' vette. High RPM redlines are also a bonus in my opinion. My GSXR hits something silly like 16k.

Yea, there's also that. They're just so unique, it's not like they're anything approaching common down here in Texas.
I originally was looking into a 3 rotor, and while it's awesome, it just seems wasteful, even for me. When I could just put that money into a bigger turbo, better manifolds, suspension, reliability mods and so much else.
But damn if a bridgeport 3 rotor isn't the best thing ever.
I also looked into the Norton Rotary bikes, but I don't think I'd have any success tracking one down.
