I was about to say the same thing I love all the 90's model japanese supercars (300ZX, 3000GT, RX-7, Supra), but those things pop apex seals like I do tic-tacs. I also hated the amount of heat coming through the floor board. With that aside...great handling, 50/50 weight, clean look, etc. Swap an LS6/7 in that puppy and have some serious fun

Nice RX-7. It is ashame those cars had so many issues as the last gen was one of the nicest looking most nimble best handling sports cars you could buy with plenty of power and performance to back up the good looks. I came very close to buying one in 99 after test driving it but it was just way too small for my needs and the rotary reliability scared me. Still it was such a great driving car and fast as hell, it felt alot faster then it was which is always fun.
