Also it has an awesome alarm. It's a two way alarm, picture below of the remote. If someone messes with the car, the remote will beep and tell you what happened. I.E. if they bump the car it says "shock level 1", hit it hard it says "shock level 2", "door open", "trunk open" etc, shows all this on the remote's LCD and beeps. That way if you're too far away to hear the alarm, the remote tells you! It also can remote start the car, but I disabled that feature because the car has a manual tranny, and liability reasons of me selling a car with that. You'll get the install manual for the alarm, so you can opt to turn this option back on if you want. Also the alarm does a fuel pump cutoff, starter cutoff, etc, so the car is pretty much totally disabled. You either need to rewire a ton of stuff to steal it, or try and tow it away. 
What the hell kind of alarm is that? I want one!

LOL...
Good one. It's just I don't like it when people say things in haste (If somone ranted on you, or any other senior club lex member, I'd proably get in trouble for flaming)
Whiz's car could be considered over done. It's a show car. It's the kinda car that turns heads. It's designed to be that way. They'res also something that's cool about the same car w/ a sweet coat of RSP. But the car is designed to turn heads. And it does just that.

Id buy it to if I had the money, but **** wiz what were you thinking with the red???!?!
(also dont try to tell us that the **** that looks like chips in the paint you meant to do :P)
I wont criticize you for the spoiler though, only cuz theres a good chance your car might take off at high speeds without it

TooG4me, Geocities doesn't let to link to images on other sites, which is what you're trying to do by putting it in your sig. You either have to buy webspace, or find a free webhost that'll let you do it. Xoom used to, but they got canned. Angelfire doesn't. I think Tripod does though, not positive.

Toog, are you tryin' to change the subject? Rhino, what you call chips in his paint is metalflake, it is added when the paint is mixed and gives off a nice effect when light hits it. Maybe you guys should think for a sec before criticising? You know that old saying, if you don't have anything nice to say.......

That is of course, your opinion.
Personally I think the 3rd gen RX7's body looks like crap, but who am I to say that, I just don't buy one.
They're awesome cars, and I don't downplay them.The fun of this car is it draws a LOT of attention. Nearly *every* mustang, camaro, rice, vette, etc etc etc etc wants to race because of the way it looks. They automatically assume it's just riced out in looks, and after getting smoked 95% of them pull over to take a look at it, and congratulate me on having a car that has speed to back the looks.
Heck, Speed Vision (or Speed Channel now, whatever) has two cars they RACE with the same paint job....and they magically appeared with that paint scheme not more than 1.5months after they videotaped my car at NOPI. Go figure. One is a Integra, the other a NSX.
