the front looks like it is trying to be a 550/575,
thinking about it, will all the mod costs and time of wait, I would just rather buy a 550 or 575

no matter what... that thing is not a proper car. And the RX7 in standard tune is hopelessly unreliable. I cant imagine seeing myself in one of those go fast rice rockets. I wont even get that thing even as a weekend toy.

160mph? - and they must have spent enough to buy a GT3... rather a pointless excercise..

If you gonna go overboard witha rotary- then take on a Wankel NSU project

it isn't that fast either look at the spec 0-60 in 5.33sec, 0-100 11.62sec, 1/4mile 13.68sec. to spend that kind of money on a RX7 with 2rotors is a waste, get a 3rotors conversion is the way to go or if posible get a 4 rotor R26B.

On the topspeed run it had a broken cluch thats why i don't go any faster
than 160 mph.
And i think this will be a very fast car in the future whan they get it right.
How good is the gearbox of a 3 gen rx7 turbo?
But remember a rwd car is always slower than a 4x4 car on the dragstrip because they have no real good traction on normal road tyres they need special tyres to have any good traction 4x4 launch better than rwd cars.
And the only euro supercars i would like to have is porsche noble tvr not ferrari or any other italian playboy mobile.
Real drivers have a porsche not a ferrari or lambo i don't like those cars at all.
decent tuned cars is much faster than a stock ferrari or lambo and the other italian poser mobile's are just as slow.
If you want anything fast and italian bye a superbike or powerboat not a italian car the breakdown all the time and very expensive to run and to slow 3,6 seconds to 96 km/h is very slow.
And i forget to tell it's much lighter than any stock fezza.
This car was running at ten of the best iv 2005 on 31 july of 2005.
