I had a '91 RX-7 and while it ran smooth...it never really FELT fast to me. Plus, it was only 160 HP. Seems like the rotary engine needs to get to have a relatively high compression ratio for any real power to kick in...Another reason for the problem with the last gen RX-7 turbo, I guess.

No surprise to me at ALL that NO other manufacturer has any sort of rotary engine in it's lineup.

 

I would have kept my S14 and turboed it!

 

C5-z06 or GTO, those were my list, hell when i bought the z i wasnt even looking seriously at them, i test drove it for comparison, and bought it on the spot.

 

I debated between a Z, G35c, S2K, STi, Evo 8, and a good ol' mk 4 Supra. Guess who won....

 

S2000
if i had known about rally cross and closed course rally..
EVO8

 

Turbo-charged Yugo, of course.

 

wouldn't have sold my e36 ///M3...damn i miss that bugger, but i like my Z too

 

Either a G35 coupe (which was what i was originally gonna get), a M3, a CLK, or a mint condition supra.

 

I would have bought a 96 or 97 Viper GTS. They can be found in the low/mid 40's with reasonably low miles, and I've loved 'em since the day they came out. It would have been a stretch, but I'd have done it....

 

That's what I'm considering as a replacement for my Z if it's totalled

 

Awesome.....I hope it works out for you. The Viper is an unbelievable car.

 

You and me both. I've always loved that car as well.

 

If the Z didn't exist, I'd probably be driving either a Subaru WRX, a BMW 325i, or a Mini Cooper. The last time I shopped for a new ride, those were the three other cars I considered along with the Z. In the end, it came down to the WRX vs. the 350z, and the Z won (on account of hotter styling and a more powerful engine). The Mini was ruled out due to price gouging (all the dealers wanted over MSRP), and the Bimmer was slightly out of my price range.

 

2005 Black S2000 with hardtop...i hate conv. If my car ever gets stolen i will be getting a S2K1

 

S2000

 

mk4 supra

 

I'd probably still have my Miata with a turbo on it...and be looking at the Sky.

 

would of bought a G35C, but opted for the Z

 

New Acura CL - then it was discontinued
then
Used Supra
or
Used 300zx
but before I got in depth on those I saw the new Z and was like OMG (squirt)...
