Hence if you are looking to not get a new engine every 100000 miles I'd say go with the 3000GT. If you think the 3000GT is to heavy... take some shit out like the back seats. Who needs back seats in a sports car?
Yeah if you're a moron and don't take care of your car. They're not idiot proof if that's what you're asking. So if you regularly let the car go way over on oil changes, don't change fluids, etc.. then you can expect problems.

And you ever removed back seats from any car? It looks horrible. Not that I'm one for looks, but.. that one is just plain obvious. And it is not going to make up the one THOUSAND pound difference.

Hmmm, wish I had gotten that RX-7 now. Crap. I thought those engines didn't last long for some reason or another. Oh well now I have more trunk space to take sheit to college. For the starter of this topic. I personally like both the cars. I perfer the 3000GT over the RX-7 just for the fact that it has AWD but that is just me. All depends on what you are looking to do with the car. Like show, drag, track, just something to work on that is cool, those kinds of things.

first off... it doesnt need to make up the diff.... the VR-4 has more punch, so it can haul more weight... second... its a good idea, coupled with some other stuff, if ur realy worried bout the weight... but after all the vr-4 is only like 200 sumthin pounds heavier than a supra! not hard to overcome that lil bit of weight diff. next... if yall dont think the rx-7s are problematic.... yall need to get urself a girl or something to take ur mind off justifying the car... dont get me wrong i thinks its a sweet car, but it IS a very high maintenance car. lastly... everyone will always have petty disputes, because they build things up in their own mind, and swear on its superiority. but it's ALL PREFERENCE! thats all there is too it, like i said before... and i happen to be with corny here... id take the VR-4! but thats just me.... yall talk all the shit u want... i got my facts and preferences... yall can have ur preferences, "to each his own"

get the RX7 and I'm not just saying that cause I prefer them.

1) there are more parts for a RX7
2) They simply are more fun to drive
3) they look better
4) VR4's are just V6 eclipses that need a diet
5) check out the sport compact car super srett machine issues (or something called like that for the competition).
6) RX7's are still being used as a race platform for Autobacs and the VR4 was only used the first 2 or 3 years then dumped cause it wieghed too much.
7) need more.... contact Rocky at www.rx7.com
