Hi chaps!

I\'ve been told that you\'re a friendly bunch, and know a lot about \'stuff\'!

I\'m new to RX7\'s, but I\'m considering buying one. In fact, I\'m going to look at one on thursday, so I was wondering whether anyone has any advice for me, and what, if any, pifalls and problems I should be looking out for!

Cheers muchly for the help!

p.s. what are the power figures for the RX7? Oh, and what\'s the official 0-60 time?

Welcome to the club, I have only recently just joined too, I think bhp is 265 on earlier models and the later spec (98/02) is about 280 bhp, 0-60 is about 5.4 ish. (Don’t quote me on this! i may be wrong)

Hi there BNA_ELLIS,

Well, it was my first experience of an RX7. Actually, it was the most powerful car I\'ve ever driven by 100bhp!! And my experience of it I hear you say!

Well, it was absolutely fantastic!! I\'m hooked! I want it! I\'ve gotta work out whether I can afford it now!! I am planning on coming to santa pod this weekend, so hopefully will see some of you there!
