I have an Rx7 Type Rz, I love it to bits! It has never been ragged, modified or ruined by cheap stick on stuff just original and looked after. But I have just bought my first house with my girlfreind and money is really tight so it has to go. its been a year since she said it and i agreed but still i havent "got round to it" yet but this week it is in the autotrader and I feel sick!
Go RZ
Rev RZ 20-7-2003
I think the RZ is a great RX7 its a shame they made a limited stock of only 175 which most the RZ would still be in japan. I think the rz has got what it takes to be better than the GTR and Supras. I mainly think the GTR is over estermated and a bit expensive for an boxy looking sports car i wish the rest of the world wood wake up an look at the RX7 because it really is the ultamate sports car when it comes to road and track
my mistake
