Looks like an old Rx7 on Mustang wheels and really stretched tires.

I'm afraid to ask, but why go from a 5.0 to..that? You're suppose to upgrade when you get another car. You went backwards! Slower and more prone to breaking! lol

I don't have a really gd answer. It's just a car I've always wanted back. I like them. They are rare, timeless and to me beautiful. Unicorns. I had a mint one and mutilated it. I won't make the same mistake twice. The 5.0 was wonderful. This car will be lucky to break 200whp. It's the connection and of course the 5 foot flames they shoot lol.

They like to break. That's why they are rare. Yet when you see a nice one it gets attention.

There is a guy with an older LS-powered RX-7 near my house. I see him a lot of mornings getting gas at around the same time I do. It's a real beater, with a patchwork of body panels and big wheels/tires, but it's a neat car.

No a/c though. Fuck that as a daily driver.

Lol "mostly". There used to be a guy running around with an old 240 and motor swap that was mostly green until I saw him painting his car in a random car wash one night with some spray paint. Then it was mostly red lol.

Good luck with your search dude. I love the sound of rotary engines and rx-7's in general. The best sounding car I ever heard (on video lol) is the mazda 787b with it's 3 rotor engine.

I can't say it was or is a dream car. It's a car that fits me. If that makes any sense. It makes me remember why I like cars.
