Dozer's Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo. The Rotary Rocket. Purchased in August '97 with 38k miles. It's the Touring Model with Tan Leather Interior, Sunroof, Fog Lights, and Spoiler.
Additional notes:
Many parts just replaced under warranty:
o New engine (rebuilt)
o New transmission (rebuilt)

All work has been done by master mechanic Ivan of Sunnyvale Mazda, who is literally legendary for his work on 3rd gen RX-7s. Only 79k original miles, with nearly flawless paint. All badging on the rear of the vehicle has been removed and the door handles are painted to match the body color. Absolutely no paint fade whatsoever. The interior looks excellent except for slight wear on the drivers side seat bolster.
Car is located at my home in San Mateo, California and is available immediately.
Asking $17,500 Or Best Offer, priced to move quickly as I've already secured a new vehicle. I hate to sell my wonderful baby, but currently have four vehicles and one must go. Feel free to call me on my cellphone at (650) 520-8016, or email Dozer@Dozer.Com
I want this car to go to someone who will love it, baby it, and treasure it as much as I have. I will not sell this car to a dealer.
Soundsystem modifications are as follows: JVC SH-99 MP3 Head Unit, Xtant 3300ix, Dynaudio System 240 Mk II Seperates, and a Soundstream Exact 12" Subwoofer in a custom fiberglass enclosure in the spare tire well. All crossover, dsp, and time-alignment functions are handled by the P1R. The system was designed to have the highest level of Sound Quality possible for the interior of the RX-7 while keeping weight to an absolute minimum. With removal of the spare tire, jack, old soundsystem, etc, weight is the same as a stock RX-7.
"The only cars that get around Sears Point International Raceway hill loop much faster have numbers on their doors. [...] The RX-7 may be a performance high-water mark for years to come. [...] The RX-7's performance is awe-inspiring: It's within 1 foot of being the shortest-stopping street car we've ever tested; [...] and grips the road harder than the best race cars of only a few years ago. [...] This is the best hardcore sports car in its price range, maybe in any price range. [...] The RX-7 redefines road manners for its class; the handling feels nimble and natural [...] No sports car in its price range delivers the same level of sensory gratification for the enthusiast driver." - Motor Trend 2/93 naming the Mazda RX-7 1993 Import Car of the Year
"With the exceptions of top speed, speed at the end of the quarter mile, and 0-30 and 0-40 mph times, our RX-7 beat the Acura NSX in every objective performance test--and costs about half as much. [...] The RX-7 explodes out of corners. [...] The RX-7's boost builds so rapidly it's easy to find yourself in tire-spinning power oversteer. [...] The new RX-7 is just gawdawful fast. It won the important acceleration contest with a 5.2 second 0-60 mph time, turned in a monumental 0.98g on the skidpad, and blew everything else away in lapping around Willow Springs Raceway. Especially in its R1 package, which we had, this is about the raciest feeling thing you can buy and still screw on a license plate. On the race track, it had ferocious cornering power, but seemed to get the biggest edge with enormous jump off the corners." - Motor Trend 4/92
