About my RX-7

This is an actual ex-IMSA GT race RX-7 that won several races in Carson City, Nevada back in the 80s.  I bought her and my husband put in an updated 13B 4 port with a monster street port job.  Future plans call for some interior work and updated 18" rims with the same deep dish effect.  I noticed there seem to be a cult of "splaturn" that are rating some real nice rides with 1s when they deserve 4s or 5s.  That's pretty sad guys, you can rate me low, I could care less because I know what I have.  But you should grow up and rate cars as they should be, not low because you feel impotent in your little splaturns.  LOL

Wow man, nice 1st gen Rx7.  4 port 13b, thats the truth for a badass turbo build.  I bet this car is a handfull when the boost comes on.  1st gens rock, *** a bunch of haters.  Your car would smoke 99% of the cars posted in this "readers rides" section

Hi guys, anyone reading this, you need to go find a few of the 4 and 5 star rated "splaturn" saturns and rate them with 1s.  That's what they do to everyone else, lets just return the favor.
