Message	good. It clearly wouldn't outpower my TT, but it might outhandle it. It's probably 100HP less, non-turbo and a vastly different car. I like driving both of them for different reasons. Not sure how it will hold up over time, but I owned a number of RX7's back in "the day" including an '87 Turbo II (the fastest car I ever owned until the Z32, which includes a couple of Corvettes) , and the rotary is a very reliable motor as long as you don't put twin turbo's on it....at least every one I ever had was. In fact, the whole reason I own the Z32 now is because I wanted something that would approach the power of the TT RX7's without the unreliability factor.
