I used to have an older Mazda RX-7. I loved that thing. MAtter of fact, I still have it but left it in NC with my dad. You gotta love the rotary engine. One thing I heard they did was increase the gas mileage. I was only gettign around 19 mpg in that small car. Not too good for comparable sized cars. Way to go with the new purchase. Its awesome!! I do like the 2005 retro looking mustang though.....mmmmmm....looks like pure POWER
