Not that I don't love LSx's, but that car would look great parked next to my Skylark haha
Probably the nicest GN I have ever seen

That red conquest was exactly like my second car. I bumped the boost and beat alot of 5.0's back in the day. Car was a sleeper and really loved it especially for $5999.99 I paid for it. After that I had a 10th adv turbo 2 rx7 which was also a great 80's car!

O yeah. Was the conquest pretty reliable? I really like those things, also the second gen rx7s turbo 2 RX7's are bad *** too!

The motor was fine. It was basiclly a 2.6 liter mighty max truck motor with lower compression. The electrical system was kinda rough. That was mainly what I had issues with. Otherwise a really fun car that was somewhat rare even back then.

I owned 2 of these 10th adv Rx7's. 6 overall which is second to the 13 vettes I have owned!



Check this out a guy has a Ls1 944 turbo for sale. If he was closer to 10k I would check it out.
