IL why i bought yet another rx7

yes im on my second one and this one is getting a chevy engine too.the reason i like the rx7 so much is that its a well engineered car.the fact that people dont like a different engine in them is of no concern of mine.thats why the world is so great because there are many people out there doing what they want to do in life ,if it be cars music clothes or whatever.so many good ideas in these cars thats why i bought another one .and the fact of the matter is that this one too is blown up like the last one i bought.they handle like no other car ive owned even with the v-8.good looks and very fast when done right .the only thing i dont like about the car is the fact that no matter how low of miles they have the stinkin sunroof always has rust holes in it !

It's so well engineered, but you are messing that up by swapping engines around. The ironing is delicious.

Just playing with you. It's your car, do whatever you want.

I'd argue the handling point because when you stick that big block in like you mention in the other thread, you're adding at least 200 LBs in front of the axle.

the 327 in my last on was a blast and still handled great!better than my 67 camaro for sure.and im pumped i found a roll cage for it now+yes im going to try to offset as much as i can to the rear---i had the battery in the last one in the???? i call it the beer coolers-even though i dont drink ---ever----and im really thinkin ill run it the way it is if i break the rear ill drop the gear ratio down around 3.50 area---4.10 is pretty low from what ive seen the rearends in those things are not that bad--and the turbo 2 has an inch bigger ring gear.that g.v. overdrive is way too expensive and i could just fix it for good with the rearend and in a kit grannys has one thats ready to run all but brakes for 2500.00 thats not that cheap either but ya play ya pay -----gotta run going to get the car today--jason
