I like RX7's, I came very very close to buying a FC GTU (with no apex seals.)

I just like to bust your guys' balls more.

umm...yeh....i dunno if you read the other posts yet, but thats a fake cnn site...should be kind of obvious though, why would they stop production of a car that they just released less than a month ago?

Looks decent...I'd have to see it in person to make a real decision. Like the 350Z, and most cars, it looks 100x better up close than in a picture.

While the 250hp is impressive...I'm not crazy about the ~150lb/ft of torque

6 speeds is nothing to gawk at...everything comes in 6 speed now

Price seems to be a bit high considering the Z (which given has been out for a year already) is head and shoulders over the 8 in both the straights and the twisties. If you don't believe me, look at any Car and Driver or any other reputable auto magazine (Import Tuner and Super Street excluded plz).

The future RX-7...now that's a different story...
