Which is a mr2 and which is a rx7?!? Never seen a newer model MR2 or rx7, everyone around here has the older/square shaped models. Whichever it is, the blue one is ok...I guess. But seriously, its definately the winner of the three!
BTW: I can't stand eclipses

I really like that RX-7. I have always liked that body style. I think that the wing is a little bit much but, other than that it was sweet as hell.

If any of you ever play GT-3 I really like the racing RX-7 in the game. It is pretty damn wicked and it looks good.

Hello , i am new to this board, i checked out that video and saw that RX7 and thought man, that looks just like an RX7 i see back home in IL where i live at. Then i see the license plate of IL. That is so weird. I always see it in Bellville IL, it sounds bad ***. I wonder how fast it runs in the quarter? Anyone who can confirm this? I am buying a Hawk or WS6 this summer. I am overseas atm. All i know , when i do get my car, i will steer clear of that blue machine.

Totally. Out of all the cars in my gt3 garage (about 30 or 35 I think, I sold a lot of the useless ones), my 700+hp tweaked rx-7 is my favorite "production" car to just occasionally take out for a spin on the tracks. I also have to say that in complete "stock" form, nothing more than medium racing tires, the rx-7 is still a blast to drive. It really makes me want to drive one in real life some day, and makes me drool over the idea of an ls1 swap.

Notice I said it's my favorite "production" car in the game. It really can't hold a candle to the C5R Corvette. Upgraded C5R isn't really the absolute fastest car in the game, nor is it the absolute best handling, but it's just ****** buttah. Driving that car, it just feels RIGHT. High speed steering is just smooth and intuitive, weight transfer, etc, it's all just so RIGHT. The only problem I ever had to really tweak out of it is a tendency to push hard accelerating out of a sharp corner. Plus it just looks so badass. The rx-7 looks sexy. The C5R looks mean.

Hmmm... did I just show a predisposition towards videogames? haha

GT3 has some of the worst in game sounds of any racing game I have ever played. Check out PGR2 for the XBOX for a real good V-8 sounds.

Cars looked great (especially the RX7) in the vid but it all seemed a bit ricey to me. I'd like to have seen them race instead of do parade laps.

Only problem with the rx-7 is it's so damn tiny. I saw one a few weeks ago and I was amazed by how small the car was. It made a miata look porky. Of course that lack of size contributes greatly to the 2800lb curb weight I'm sure.
