Those TT Rx7's are very tight little cars. Given the proper motor rebuild <every 80k miles> they can be VERY potent. Not to mention many would prefer the interior of the mazda over the C5.

I have a friend that bought a yellow RX-7 with a 3-stage turbo, on-board laptop computer, yadda-yadda-yadda Fast & Furious mobile. He paid $22k and flew to Wisconsin to pick it up, drove it back, and "ate up every Vette and Mustang on the road."
He drove it home, parked it in storage, and never drove it again, save for once, and he was messing with the settings from the computer and messed up something. Then he sold it before we even had the chance to line 'em up.
My other friend had a decent Gen2 ragtop, but the engine blew up.
My Vette's still runnin and gunnin'!
