Title: Performance advice for newby
Post by: ro284 on May 10, 2004, 05:00:58 PM
Hi Guys, Please could someone advise a newby, i am very tempted by a 92 RX7 automatic, is there a post i could read about performance figures for an auto and manual? and is it unusual for an RX7 to have a sunroof as well as a/c ?
cheers Bob

you can do a search for models types that should help you

Get a manual, its more a drivers car :) (runs for cover !)

Manual is better unless you are doing a lot of city driving.

Dave \'sicknote\' Thompson managed some respectable times up the pod using an auto - kept up and beat some of  the \'sporty\' manuals:D

I think you will find the car you are looking at is an RB \'touring\'

Hope this helps

PS watch out for OJ I hear he has perfected his \'auto\' launch:rollin :rollin :rollin
