CONS
- Windshield Crack

- 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?
- 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???
- 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!
- 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!
- 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.**

Mazda MX-5 Miata Cup racecar priced at $53,000
Thu, Oct 1 2015The 2016 Global MX-5 Cup is one of very few internationally competitive racing series that the average person can imagine (or afford) getting into. The ready-to-race Miatas are available to order now for $53,000 and deliveries are set to begin later this year. The first one is actually already on track as a pace car at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. With competition planned in North America, Europe, and Asia, all of the cup cars are identically prepared to emphasize drivers' skill rather than their bank account. The full list of Cup components hasn't been announced yet, but the roll cage and stripped interior are obvious. The 2.0-liter SkyActiv four-cylinder is still under the hood, too. The Global MX-5 Cup will also offer competitors big rewards, including a $200,000 scholarship for the season champion to move another rung up the motorsports ladder. In addition, Mazda will bring together the top racers from across the world to Laguna Seca to crown a series world title holder in a finale event. That winner will get a test In Mazda's prototype from the IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship. For now, Mazda is giving first priority to buyers planning to compete in its series. In the future, buyers of MX-5 Cup cars have other competition options, being eligible for some classes in Sports Car Club of America and National Auto Sport Association racing.

The new race car will be available at the special introductory price of $53,000. The race car ordering process begins on www.MazdaMotorsports.com with first deliveries scheduled to begin later this year. 2016 Global Mazda MX-5 Cup Race Cars Having a turnkey, ready-to-race car removes the effort of engineering and costs of fabrication, enabling the racer to focus on racing. All racers can purchase identically-built race cars so that driving talent will be the number one determining factor for on-track performance, rather than budget, engineering capability or fabrication skills.

Why the 38-mpg 2014 Mazda6 is on dealer lots, but you can't drive it
Fri, 21 Dec 2012If you stop by your local Mazda dealer this month, with any luck, you'll see the much-anticipated 2014 Mazda6 parked in the showroom - there are already a few hundred of them out there. That's quite an accomplishment in light of the fact that it isn't even calendar year 2013. The move is part of a strategic decision by the Japanese automaker, which is hoping to capitalize on holiday showroom traffic. (The last five days of the year are typically among the busiest dealer days all year).
If you happen to spy the rakish sedan, you may notice something missing - a window sticker. That's because Mazda (like other automakers) can't legally display the Monroney on a 2014 model year vehicle until January 1, 2013. According to Autoblog sources, Mazda dealers are legally prohibited from letting you test drive until the start of 2013, so it's more of a sneak preview than anything else. Even so, we reckon shoppers will be impressed when they finally get a look at those window stickers - Mazda hasn't announced fuel economy figures yet, but Autoblog has learned that the 2014 model will carry a pair of impressive numbers: EPA estimates of 27 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg on the highway using regular gas.
