Which one would you choose?
It's approaching the fall and its time for me to begin looking for a car. I will start with the only one I would have to finance(when it comes out, if ever).



Or this one:



Or:




Yes I know they're all turbo cars. And all have an extensive following for speed. The gsx has awesome power that can make huge gains semi-reliably while the RX-7 has great handling and can get great power but requires alot more money. And the Evo combines both and requires financing.

I used to own a fast car. Problem was I had a hard time
resisting the tempation to drive fast. Thats not good for
a CDL. If you don't use it to drive fast, what good is
a small car like that for? Personally I would not buy a
RX-7 because with its rotary engine you have to bring
it to Mazda to get it worked on forever. I like choices.
But if you want value I would suggest the Mazda 3
Turbo. I forgot what its called but its fast and cheap.

Ok, if the engine has a major problem while you are driveing it
across the country and you take it to a mechanic that is not
trained in rotarys because there is none in the small town you
break down in what then? Who else sells a rotary other than Mazda?
I am not saying its a bad car. I believe it is a good car. I am
just illustrateing why I would not buy one. But then I tend to buy
new and keep my vehicle till it starts falling apart. If you trade
every 2 years the RX-7 may be the perfect car for you.

If the engine with four moving parts has a problem, you're most likely going to need a rebuild. And owning a 7 is like being in a cult, you learn where you can get repairs before you leave for a trip.

Top speed on the 7 is 160, the gsx 137(ecu limited), and the evo is 157(electronically limited).

The evo has a 0-60 of 4.4 seconds, #### thats tempting.
