Need Some Help and Opinions
I'm trying to decided what to buy after winter is over. My main choices at the moment are between a 3rd gen (newest?) RX-7 and a VR4 3000GT. I was thinking MKIV Supra, but that's just out of my range I believe. Couple questions:
Is it possible to get a 5-speed RX-7 TT with under 100k for around $12,000?
How much would it cost in mods to get an RX-7 into the low 13's and possibly high 12's?
After much research and thought i've decided that it comes down to looks and scarcity when buying a sports car. And I say this because I have a 1988 Formula 350 that I picked up for $2000 that is completely reliable and can run 14.2 stock, but it's so common that it doesn't really matter to anyone. Whereas an RX-7 which is about equal in speed has a much greater value to people, which from a performance standpoint it shouldn't. And sports cars are mostly about the performance, but it's the look that seems to matter most. Now I know the VR4 has a few things over the RX-7 (AWD, AWS, almost 80 HP), but I kind of want the RX-7 more simply because i've only seen one in my lifetime on the road, and have seen quite a few 3000GT's. Looking back, if you guys could choose between the two, which would you choose and why? Thanks for any responses!
