CONS

  • Windshield Crack
  • A/C Blows, but not Cold.  Likely needs recharging as it has never been done in 20 years.
  • Original paint.  Looks great but as the standard rock chips, 2-3 small door dings (its an aluminum car) and the mirrors/spoilers fade if not polished regularly (a common problem for the red RX7s)

This car is awesome!  Always garage kept, 1 family owership, NEVER raced, and NEVER wrecked!  It is super fast and turns heads everywhere it goes.  "What kind of car is that?" & "Is that a Ferrari?" are a few of the comments I get.  Nobody who knows what this car is capable of won't even look at you at a red light!  If you know anything about Japanese sports cars, this is THE car to own.  Not even Supras, Sklyines, and NSXs can compare to this car.

So what makes the R1 a better buy than any other RX7?

  1. It is the stripped down race version of the RX7.  No fancy stereo system or sunroof to add weight.  Who needs that crap in a race car???
  2. It came from the factory with a functional front chin spoiler, rear spoiler, and aluminum hood.  Again, strip the weight and get some downforce for high speeds.  Ask anyone who has taken a Touring Edition to 120+ MPH, it gets really squirrelly!  The R1 sticks to the ground like rubber shoe soles on ahot Texas summ day!
  3. Rarity, rarity, rarity!  Only 1177 Red R1's built, 1665 total.  Less than half are on the road today.  And maybe 25% of those are not ragged out, torn up, or non-functionally modded out (riced out).  This is one of them!
  4. It is the fastest production car built in 1993.  Truest 50/50 weight ratio around, suspension to handle the harshest road race courses, and so much power that it could melt you into the seat when you mash the pedal.

This car is a MUST-HAVE for any serious collector!

**There is an interesting story attached to this car. My father bought it brand new in 1994.  The story is that THIS car was used by magazines to test drive. Now, I was never able to find any supporting documents, but if you look at the history of the car, it has an odd anamoly. The date of manufacture is 10/11/1993, which make this one of the last (if not THE last) R1's to roll off the assembly line. The next entry after production shows this car at auction somewhere in the Pacific Southwest. My father purchased the car from Fred Haas Mazda in Houston, TX in mid-1994.    Now, I cannot confirm nor deny any of what I have just disclosed other than what the report says.  My father passed away 10 years ago so the facts of what the story is went with him.**

From Maseratis to rental cars | Autoblog Podcast #511

Fri, Apr 7 2017

On this week's podcast, Mike Austin and David Gluckman are in a huddle room (again), because the studio was already taken (again). We talk about the all-wheel-drive Dodge Challenger GT (again), as well as the Jeep Wrangler, Maserati Levante, Miata RF (again), and then David waxes poetic on mediocre rental cars (or similar). The episode wraps up with the traditional doling out of Spend My Money buying advice, with some input from an S2000 owner on advice discussed last time. The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want buying advice of your very own, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com. (If you record audio of a question with your phone and get it to us, you could hear your very own voice on the podcast. Neat, right?) And if you have other questions or comments, please send those too.

Red Bull RX-7 goes drift crazy on New Zealand's Crown Range

Tue, 07 May 2013

For the first time ever, the Crown Range, New Zealand's highest paved road, was closed off for the drifting pleasure of one man. That man is Mad Mike Whiddett, and the machine he's piloting is a heavily modified Mazda RX-7 sponsored by the energy-rich crew from Red Bull and powered by a 750-horsepower quad-rotor engine. There will be smoke. Lots and lots of smoke.
Mad Mike hits speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour over the course of the road's six and a half miles, which boasts 47 individual corners at over 3,500 feet of elevation. Scroll down for all kinds of fire-belching, tire-squealing and smoke-inducing action. Or, as Mad Mike himself puts it, "A dream turned into reality."

2016 Mazda CX-9 First Drive

Mon, May 23 2016

Automotive enthusiasts tend to obsess over spec sheets. How else could we know which cars and trucks are the quickest in a straight line, hold the road with the greatest tenacity, or tow the biggest trailers? More succinctly, what ammunition would we have in the seemingly endless back-and-forth of Internet forums if it weren't for specifications? Mazda's engineers think they've found a better way. The 2016 CX-9 has less horsepower than its primary competitors. The only engine available is a turbocharged four-cylinder, hooked to a six-speed automatic. Drivers won't miss the 23 horsepower (or more, as we'll soon explain) lost in the changeover from 2015 to 2016, because Mazda applied its holistic Skyactiv approach to the largest vehicle it offers. That means less weight and, ultimately, more fun. Or so they say. Are they right? Yes. And no. Most of the time, in normal on-road driving conditions, the 2016 CX-9 is the most fun you can have with three rows. But the real-world tradeoff didn't go off completely without a hitch. Reasoning that real-world performance is more important than ultimate horsepower, Mazda specified a four-cylinder for its big, three-row SUV instead of a more traditional V6. Let's get those all-important specifications out of the way: All 2016 Mazda CX-9s are fitted with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and, impressively, 310 pound-feet of torque at just 2,000 rpm. Unless you decide to use 87 octane, in which case you'll be limited to 227 horsepower. Mazda doesn't think owners will actually notice the difference in power levels, so there's no Premium Fuel Recommended sticker on the back of the fuel door. Mazda utilized some clever turbo trickery to deliver a diesel-like torque curve from its gasoline-fueled engine, which makes the small-displacement powerplant feel lively at low engine speeds. The flipside is that the CX-9 runs out of breath as the needle swings across the upper reaches of the tach. While that simply wouldn't do for a sportscar like the MX-5, in the CX-9 it's not necessarily a deal breaker. One benefit to the downsized engine is that it doesn't guzzle fuel. The EPA rates the CX-9 at 22 miles per gallon in the city and 28 on the highway. Drop one mpg all around for the all-wheel-drive model. Those figures beat out all the CX-9's most natural competitors, including the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. The turbo-four Ford Explorer matches the 28-mpg highway figure, but loses by three in the city.
