Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum, so I thought I'd introduce myself and my car. My name is Stephen and I own/drive a vintage-red '93 RX-7 twin-turbo. Here's a couple shots of her:

Very nice car. I espically like the rims. Now the question is, will you ever go back to piston engines again? lol

Thanks for the compliments. As for going back to piston-engines, "once you go rotary you never go back"! :D Nah, I'll probably own a few piston cars in the future, but there will always be a rotary sportscar in the collection.

Rotary engines fascinate me. More companies should pick up on them.

Nice car, I like.

Thanks. Yeah, I love rotary-engines; they may not be the most fuel-efficient or reliable engines in the world, but they sure are unique and quite potent for their tiny size. I believe Mercedes made a couple rotary-powered vehicles, and Cheverolet had plans on making a 4-rotor mid-engine Corvette (which would have been a badass demon of a car, but would have went against the Corvette's lineage and upset the purists).

Yeah, however the fact that you can get 250-300hp out of a 1300cc, and still have it a Daily Driver blows me away.
