I personally have no reason to think it's going to be a short lived motor.

I love these old revivals. This post is funny.

It's just speculation at this point but I won't be surprised if the S2 Renesis sees typical RX7 mileage of 150,000+ miles. Total speculation but hopefully I'm still in the community in 5 to 6 years to see if I'm right.

Heard that Mazda was extending the warranty to 8 years retroactive. Was this wishfull thinking
