Wow - 93 RX-7
Just watched Barrett-Jackson on Speed.
They just sold a 1993 RX-7 Banzai Edition from Pettit Racing for $48,500. What a beautiful car! It was black with a 3-rotor(!) estimated at 500hp and a top speed in excess of 200mph yet it looked pretty much like stock (sort of). What a deal (IMO) |
Yeah that car is sweet. It's been around for a while now.
|
|
i'd hit it
|
Yep!
|
Wow, that car is sexy. I doubt the 7 will ever look outdated.
|
Btw, why do they feel the need to type in all caps on the website? Ugh!!!
|
daaaaaang... seen it before, didn't realize it was a 3 rotor! too young to know.
|
Wouldn't that be depreciation over even a stock 93 RX-7 if inflation is considered?

38,000(1+.0399)^14=$62,347 However, that is at the inflation rate as of today. We've had a few low years in the past. Plus, the car market is generally is not reflected by the CPI, or whatever index you choose to use to measure inflation. |

is it just me or in the third pic of that web site the rx-7 has our (rx-8) stock shift knob? haha looks kinda funny since they list it as a 5 sp..and you can see 6 gears + rev. on the knob. hehehe

I think Pettit announced a while back that they're not making those anymore either. But I bet if you throw enough money at them you'd get one...it's just a 3 rotor, though. Lots of shops out there can do the same thing for you.

:tear: I miss my FD
|
^^^^
You know what, except for the obvious lack of power (please let's not discuss the 8's lack of power again) I like my RX-8 better in every way as compared to my FC or FD. I loved all my RX cars, but I really do like the 8 the best. The FD is more visceral, but with coilovers and FI I think the 8 can hold it's own well enough. |
Just a 3 rotor?
Also that thing could easily get over 500hp. I was surpirsed it was that low. It was a surprise to me also when I saw it on TV |
I meant "just a 3 rotor" in terms that any reputable rotary shop throughout the country can do the same job as Pettit. Pettit doesn't have some super-secret upgrade that no one else has.
|
are you saying they overpaid for this car?
|
I agree anyone thats competent can do the 3 rotor conversion.
As for overpaying, maybe a little (w/fees and stuff) but it is totally professionally done. I know of at least one guy thats dropped 60k+ into his 20b fd ,experimenting w/different things. also w/that tune nothing is being pushed too much so it last awhile. |
