Saw an excellent example of a Mazda RX-7 today at Oscar's in Waukesha at lunch time. I had to stop and take a very close look at it! It was seriously Badass!

Specs:

1987 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II
Very nice Widebody conversion done with well sized Fiske chrome mesh rims with wide meats on them.
Blue with white stripe down the center of the whole car.
Front mount, roll cage, fire supression system, battery box, quick release sparco wheel, lots of gauges, harnesses, wilwood front and rear brakes, etc.

It was a REAL race car --- it definitely looked like it would be at home on Road America :headbang

Whoever's it was, excellent work!

I hope Mark doesn't mind, not that the car was slow with the previous 3 rotor, or much of a sleeper anyway. I can't wait too see this thing run up at road america! The fabrication work done on this car is amazing.

I believe he said it was a gt42, not sure what the exact specs are. The car is just sick in every aspect, g force t56, 8.8" irs out back, gigantic brakes etc.
