Agreed. Never understood some people's proclivity to poke others for entertainment. |

Ive had a couple RX7's (a 85 and a 87 turbo II with a street port) the 85 was great till an apex seal blew around 120k miles and the turbo II was fast as hell when it decided to run lol for me the reliability of an RX is just not there or I would have a RX8 or FD sitting in my driveway right now....my next car will be a long hood 911 or 944S2
but I love that yellowbird |
I see the historical importance but $250K in 2012 sports car dollars is like $500K in 2007 sports car dollars. You'll think a little harder about how much history you'll be willing to pay for.
There are other vintage cars I'd apply that kind of coin towards. |
^ Anyone who has that kind of coin likely already has a garage full of other vintage cars. The Yellowbird isn't where someone starts their car collection, its where they complete it.

I spent a bunch of time this fall looking for a track car and drove quite a few 944s. I just love that car. The chassis and steering are sooo much more intimate than even the Boxster, no wonder that car is so well regarded. S2s are tough to find though. |
no to the turbo?

I've thought about buying a track toy as well. It will probably be an older Miata. i beat the pants off that car and NOT ONCE did it whine or quit. The engine is bullet proof, suspension and exhaust mods are a pittance, tires are cheap since they're 15" and the car does not feel the slightest bit modern and disconnected. i don't really thing you can find all that wrapped up in one car that wouldn't require a trailer (street legal). Why did I ever sell that car...I spent twice as much overhauling the Boxster. |

I bought a brand new 1986 MR2. Awesome car. Incredible fun. Super reliable. Perfectly balanced. Everyone who drove it, loved it.
Sold it after 140,000 miles and bought a 1971 Triumph TR-6. Talk about two completely different sports cars, it was like they were made on different planets not just different continents. |
I love those first gen MR2 but anyone over 6' won't fit in it and I'm 6'2. 2nd gen Turbos are way faster but they seem to hug walls like the 911s. 3rd gen are really nice once you do a 3SGTE swap or Turbo install.
