Griffith Vs RX-7

[Wildfire]

As sensible things take hod, such as houses and mortgages, I am faced with possibly selling my Griff and replacing it with something cheaper. The running costs will not bother me if they are the same, the car only realy gets driven once a week or so.

I am considering an RX 7, relatively standard, in good nick. i've noticed they are coming down in price recently as all relatively expensive cars are.

How will it compare to my tuned Pre Cat. I know I will miss the noise from the V8, but what about everything else?

Any constructive opinions welcome.

Cheers

Chris

they eat fuel, makes a griff look economical.

How much are we talking here? Town and on a Run?

I get late 20's - very early 30's on the run and maybe late teens to early twenties in town??

Hmmmm Cheers guys, definitely something to think about.

I pay around £350 odd per year fully comp on the Griff, (25yrs old) will I get RX insurance cheaper?

What is a rebuild's cost? My engine on the Griff is tuned, for economey and smoothness of drive, at the most I reckon I'll be looking at a cam.

I would have to say that I have never had a seriously hairy moment in my Griff where I thought I was going to die, and have pushed it a lot.

As far as looks go, I would have to say that the Griff wins my vote, but the RX is definitley not a bad looking car!

Tommy, I may just come have alook once things have calmed down.
