NY thinking about getting the 8

well let me start off by telling you this would be my second rotary. i bought an 86 rx7 last year and fell in love with it. Being so happy with my seven i figured i would get an 8 for my new dd so i can really start working on the seven.

right now im looking at 04 sunlight silver manual with 80,000 miles.

what other real differences would i notice between the eight and seven besides the fact that the eight right now is faster and has backseats,extra gear, and handles a lil bit better.

lol? i think just about everything except for the sound of a rotary. youre definitely gonna fall in love with the handling, and first mod may i suggest is the AFE short shifter that thing will make you fall in love with the car even more. The cockpit also has an AMAZING feel. If you haven't test driven it yet, get on it ASAP.
