I would trade my ITR for a brand new or similar year FD RX-7. But those only exist in Japan so ITR FOR LIFE!

I think both the rx8 and 350z look like good cars on paper. Don't they both start at about $26k too??

yup, 93 and 94 (I believe 94, may be wrong though). In 95 they had the R2, same thing as r1 AFAIK. no clue as to numbers or anything.

haha i read mags that said the reason why they didnt bring rx-7 r2 was because most people in north america "cant fit in the car" since that car is so small for them

r2 is not as stiffer as r1 owners cried due to stiff suspension.

also, I believe r2 got more luxury items as American people cried about lack of features. wtf?

I'm not to thrilled with the RX-8.

Now the new Z car OTOH, well let me put it this way: SCHWING!

so is there such as thing as a "sports car" in the US market now? Sure there's the exotics, but other than that cars like the TypeR are a dying breed to cushy suspensions and climate control systems.
