What movie was this in?

“Fast and furious”

*disappointed keisuke noises*

[EngineeringExplained]

Ha! Y’all are rad, thanks for the shout out. 🙏🙏 But frankly, that EE guy is clueless.

My favourite quote: "There is no sports mode. This car is the sports mode"

Also, please do more of these. A lot of us car guys on a budget will appreciate them 😁

[BrandonK]

One more thing to add. NO FAKE VENTS!!! Love that you're adding some older cars. This is great

[ctm]

The most timeless design that has ever come out of Japan. Absolutely gorgeous. I’ve always wanted one!

[Labergemusic]

Damn this is the first audio I've ever heard that captures the sound of the engine well

[cluckinbell]

Is the RX-7 good after 25 years?








Answer: *hell yes*

[MrCYChung]

I really miss driving my ‘94.. it was a fun car but gave lots of headaches. I loved the jet engine sound it made.

"an uglier rx7 before"


*sad Ryosuke noises*

Smoked out tail lights were a very 90s trend and it was very very cool. The styling has aged extremely well and it's still a gorgeous car. You look at what Japan was putting out in the early to mid 90s. Most everything was pretty damn sexy. Really nice shapes and curves. I look at the styling of Japanese cars now and I'm like "What 25yr old gamer is styling these things?"

"I did it to a Miata amd he didn't get it"

Okay, who tf who owns a Miata wouldnt do the flippy boi handshake 👿👿👿🔥🔥🔥

More of these used car reviews please. That's the first time I've watched a review about the rotary engine. I remember the rotary engine being mazdas unique selling point. Might not have worked out but at least it was innovative.

Sounds a bit like the whine of a super charger.

Everything was good until...you called theFC ugly. End of video now!

10 second car** my bad -Yuri. 7500rpm redline** my bad - Jakub.

[The.Drunk-Koala]

I smile for days after a 20 minute drive in my 93 rx7. love it...

Oh and half of my rpm range is not turbo lag, it comes on very very early.

[ShootingCars]

I have a 1985 Rx7 (First gen). Best car ever. If you're ever in chicago come review it!

[unclebenny]

One of my favourite cars of all time! I'd love to see a classic JDM shootout from you guys: RX7, NSX, Skyline GTR, Supra, Evo and STI battle royale!

My dad had a black on black R1 when I was really young. I still see it in my dreams. Really need to get one of these things.
