Since you do not own an Evo, the question is not directed at you and therefore your response is not needed nor wanted.

Do us all a favor...

But I agree, it really comes down to what YOU want out of a car - whatever that car happens to be.

If you want a Summer car, or a weekend cruiser - by all means the RX-7 is going to turn heads, always give you something to do, and be a BLAST when it runs right.

If you want something a tad more pratical, AWESOME in the snow, and rock solid as far as reliability - The Evo is hands down the winner.

I think you'll be happy with either choice, but make sure you don't fool yourself about what it is you are actually buying.

Check www.rx7club.com for common problems and opinions from :ahem: actual owners.

If you think you're telling me something new by stating the fact that this is an open forum, then i, my friend - am not the moron here.

What is it, exactally, that you are trying to accomplish?

When did I debate it wasn't old? I just stated that it was timeless. Lots of old cars are timeless.

My only ***** is that you have no expierence with EITHER car, have already stated your point (ok, it ended production in 2000, it's "old"), but continue to carry on.

I really don't want to go back and forth... but its just too damn fun to tear apart every comment you make.

No, from what I gather, there's an opportunity for him to buy a local low milage FD with a rebuilt motor... but the idea of buying an Evo is still viable.

Tough call... an RX-7 with $10,000 in the bank... or an Evo.

Um... the FD Chassis RX-7.

The car was imported into North America from late 1992-1995. However production on it (and importation to select other countries) didn't stop untill 2000, with the RX-7 "RZ" model.

That model came with: Bilstein Shocks, Recaro Seats, BBS (i believe) 17" Wheels, Nardi Steering Wheel, Stitched Red leather shift boot and e-brake handle, aluminum passenger foot rest and a number of additional styling "hues" which set it apart from the other FDs.

...but as you were saying... something about me not knowing what I was talking about?

New for foriegn market.....OLD for American market.. Im sorry, but why would you pick a 95 RX7 over an 05 EVO... That has got to be the easiest decision. EVO is still faster, AWD, practical, more mod potential, offers more, BRAND NEW.... CONCLUSION=NEW EVO
