The vert top is actually warmer in the winter due to the foam insulation in the headliner,
& less cockpit volume to heat.
my GTU-TII conversion is nearing completion.

I'm got an '89 Vert. I know it's one of only a few s5 vert's in the area. There's several s4's, but not too many s5's. You would think in az there would be more vert's...
Edit: I love the vert's being in alaska. That's great stuff

I have a 1987 GXL, and have not seen another 2nd gen around me. I know that there is a guy that owns a first gen that lives in my town, and posts on these forums, (He has a sticker on his car advertising this place.), but never seen a second generation, other than mine.

Lets see..
JoeColeman 3 -FB's
C.Ludwig 2 -FC's
Ducktape 1 -FB
Crionics 2 -FC's
JDuncan 2 -FC's 1 -FB
SuperchargedFC 2 -FC's
MustangHunter 1 -FC 1 -FB
Jeremy 1 -FC
Jamie 1 -FC
Sergio 1 -FC
AJ 1 -FC
Jacobcartmill 1 -FC
BAH, nevermind. It would take a lot better memory than I possess for me to name all of them. Lets just say that 1st and 2nd gens aren't that rare around here, but 3rd gens are few and far between. Robbo9, you should join over at KYRotary.com so you can make a meet.

Here in Sweden, Rx7 is a very rare car (all models).
In my state (if we can call it that) i own the only one, I never seen another Rx7 in my life except my own.
There are some other rotarys thought, a couple of Rx4 (same owner) and 1 Rx8.
I own a Rx7 T2 -87 with a S5 engine block (soon with S5 taillights and sideskirts).
And I got rear leather seat (I think thats rare but Im not sure).
