I wo :roll: uld have said porsche gt 3 also .... but I wanted to stick to cars that were within the grasp of the average joe....

 

Yeah, Porsche territory is sort of...not in the scope of this discussion. And just to clarify, you said Porsche 911 GT. Which model are you actually referring to, as there is no "GT". There's the GT2 and GT3 available currently, there was a GT1, though I don't know if that was street legal or even available in the US. There's also the 911 Turbo, which is the basest of the hopped up models. Oh hell, who am I kidding, any of them would be fine.

 

Here's my comparison:

=RX7 getting his ass handed to him on a 40mph roll on the higway :?

 

Stock vs atock the RX7 will kill you on the track and in the speed area. They are killer cars. I have videos of RX7s killing skylines, ITR's, and a GTO. They are very well designed cars. But as for which one to get i would get the ITR i fi was not very mechanicly inclined and knew alot of information on the rotary motor.

Ive benn looking to get an RX7 for the past few months. I work in a shop that specializes in 7s and its quite suprising how little people know about the engine. If you would rather have a day to day driver get the ITR. It will be much more reliable for you, has great potential, looks awsome, and can handle great.

Good luck with your choice, and it you have any questions about RX7's dont hesitate to ask.

 

[quote:50a3ac75f7]At least IMO RWD is easier to control. Perhaps that is just me though. :shrug:[/quote:50a3ac75f7]

Oh sure - you handled the nissan truckster real well :lol:

 

Right now im looking at getting a 95 RX7 R2, i can get great deals on the cars and i can work on them myself at my work. I love the fact it is RWD. But still love the ITR.
