They are pretty nice, but everyone got rid of them shortly after buying them since the novelty wore off and the aftermarket sucks. Greddy has a turbo kit, but i think it doesnt add as much as the old RX-7 people wish it did.

ORIGINAL: theTTkid

and to think i was looking at rx-8s... i think they are a good looking car though
to each thier own, but i think the 8 was the second biggest mistake of mazdas life, and the first was dumping the 7

alot of companies do this, but if you are going to get rid of a car, don't bring back a slower crappier version, ie the malibu, for one

out of thefour big sport compact cars,twoof biggest sport compacts of the 20th got dumped and only one was stupid enough to try and rebirth it.... the other did and did a fantastic job at it.... 300/350

i would by a 350 in a heart beat, i would buy a 97 supra/rx, but not an old school 3...... i test drove one on the same day as an old vr and the vr in my opinion felt much sportier and more fun to drive..... granted i think the 3 was a n/a car, but that is besides the point

god i wish the vr and the supra would of never left

and here is what wikapedia says about the wankel engine(renesis)

ya gotta love the VR4 and Supra....pacific muscle! the Vr4 was always more of a looker than the supra but it lacked the power potential of the supra 2JZ-GTE Mitsu messed up by putting a damn V6 in there and should have gone inline.that engine suffers the same problem of our 1.8 when the timing belt breaks..(.interference engines) also the Vr4 was an electrical biatch..Mitsu focused on too many dumb features like the electronic aero spoilers and crap that didnt really help the cars performance. still love the Vr4 and if i ever find a nice one stock and with low miles i might just have to buy it. and a supra. BTW my buddy just took out a 20k loan and is gonna make that supra a nasty beast...he asked what size he should go with and i said .74mm GO BIG OR GO HOME! its gonna lag but when that thing hits its gonna hit. i just hope he doesnt end up like Nick Hogan and his friend

You forgot that "thinks he is a real race car driver". I know he is somewhat a drifter, but that wasnt for too long and i dont think he even qualified for the D1 or whatever the US calls it.

My parents went to hell (cayman islands) and a lady selling bracelets there thought he was hulk hogan.

If only she were right... I'd be drifting vipers into walls right now.
