rx7 twin turbo or rx8?

what do you guys say is the better handling of the two? id rather get a newer car but if the rx7 is gonna be better (drag and track) then might aswell get that ya know?

i found a pretty good 7, not sure if its twin turbo or not, its a 94, all stock other than a bigger radiator, 56k miles, car is blue interior is like tan leather, manual of course.

What do u guys think?

I like the 8 better for a daily driver standpoint; sharper and more streetable handling; the FD feels like a truck in comparison - but pure track the FD would handle better I would think.

There is no question that stock for stock the last RX-7 is a better track car. The the 8 is the better all around car.

Pfft, forget the 20b, hit the 26b 4 rotor :P

Personally, I LOVE the way the 8 handles, but I'd say stock for stock, the 3rd gen RX7 would wipe the floor with the 8. The RX-7 was built to be an all out Sports car, while the 8 is a bit here and a bit there.

Unless they did a single turbo swap, which is EXTREMELY popular with them, but he did say the car was all stock but the radiator and such, so it should be TT.
