Owning a singled RX-7

Well guys and gals i am looking for your input here. Whats it like owning a single turbo 3rd gen? Got any complaints or praises. I love the way rx-7's look, and they are soo much cheaper then supras. Do any of you use your single for daly driving? If i was to get one it would probably be a weekend warrior. please fill anything i may have left out.

No complaints other than noise and the heavier clutch needed for the extra power.

If you don't have complaining neighbors or have to drive in bumper to bumper traffic... you should be fine.

Well, no more worrying about charge control valves, solenoids, boost spikes & creep & all that other sequential control ****. Just about no lag with the right size turbo. However the price of admission is not cheap if you're going to do it right. Daily driver.

I've got a 93 with a T04S with all the goodies including porting done... kinda sucks eggs to drive it in traffic due to the heavy clutch pedal and tendancy to try to stall (light flywheel + porting and stuff).

But since I don't daily drive it, traffic performance doesn't matter!
