New Car... help me decide.

well, if you plan on using the rx7 chassis and dumping the rotary (one of the greatest marvels of german engineering), you could swap in an ls1. it has been done, is apparently not that difficult, and doesn't change the balance of the car noticeably

damn this is tough but supra because...supra

2JZ > LS1

haha.... if I get a rx-7 there will be no 2jz or v8 swaps...

[JohnW]

I vote rx-7, obviously. need more rotary action around here.

[LT1]

tuff choice

[Guest]

I say go for the RX7, not many people have them around here and those that do don't race them (at least not regularly). Both cars are great platforms IMHO, but a well built RX7 would just be cool. If you do go w/ the 7, make sure you upgrade the cooling system (not that I need to tell you that I suppose).

i agree, i just tossed that out as an option if you particularly like the look of the 3g rx7, but don't know how to take care of the turbo rotary

[mym6]

As a Mazda owner myself I voted for the RX-7.

[btleier]

thanks for all the replies guys... I'm just looking for something a little more unique that's all... something where I don't see 12 of them on the way to work each day.

i doubt u see any kinds of vehicles 12 times a day

Grand Ams

[SmitEvo]

I see 12 Ford Tauras' a day and about 6 in the same color.

[PSiedTSi]

before i bought my grand prix i hardly saw any in the color i bought...the first day i drove it to school i swear there was 4 in the same color with the same rims and that was just in the school parking lot! lol

[mym6]

I have yet to see another red mazda6 sport wagon. I've seen only one sedan in this color. All of the others are silver, gray or black.

But there are a lot of cars I see a lot of. F150's, DSM's, taurus's, cavaliers, grand-ams, accords, civics, countless yukons and trailblazers.

Theres too many Subies out there too IMO. Liked it better when Carlson, Shane and I were the only wrx owners in town....felt more like an unique car back in those days.

[mym6]

With the WRX that must have lasted about 2 weeks. After nearly 6 months I can think of a handful of the wagon around town, each one a different color oddly enough.

[Guest]

ok...maybe we weren't the ONLY wrx owners, just the only ones driving them daily in the areas I was driving.

If I remember right, I was like the 12th person in the state to own one.

haha... see it's called an exaggeration... an overstatement to emphasize a point.
