SUCK

I’ve owned the 924S and driven the Mazda.
The 924 is much more comfortable to drive, has a nicer interior. The motor revs very smoothly, and the handling seems much more precise on the Porsche. However, the balance shafts and complex timing assy make the motors almost impossible to maintain without very deep pockets. Hence, I don’t drive one anymore. The Mazda is alot cheaper inside and outside, but rotary’s are pretty awesome…

boyamiboard is indeed an idiot, but he’s right. The 2353cc rating is from an alternate measuring method designed to make rotaries sound like they have more displacement than they actually do.
The traditional (and much more widely accepted) method rates the engine at 1308cc.

i think the clicher here is the mpg… 25mpg that is very thirsty i bet you would be lucky to get 20mpg if driving the mazda hard. i had a 944 a few years back and you could get 30mpg out of it, so pretty good for a 2.5 petrol, now have a mondeo st24 2.5 and the performance is about the same as the porsche 944.. when you drive 300miles a week in the uk mpg is the most important factor

It’s a shame they didn’t wait long enough for the Turbo II RX7 review.

I laughed a little everytime he tried to pronounce “mazda”. This just makes me want to get an rx7 even more.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:33 am
no, he’s right, thye say its a 2353 cc engine, go look a 5:50.

Damn…why does that British FC have a distributor?

ROTARYS RULE
July 30th, 2009 at 3:33 am
learn to listen, is the same as a 2.3 piston engine
July 30th, 2009 at 3:33 am
British DWEEB got the rx7 displacement wrong, not a 2.3 but 1.3…..

RONDOC68 is a dick head. i own a 1988 Mazda rx-7 turbo2 and its the greatest car ive ever drivin, awesome grip, power, handling, acceleration and a stunning car to look at. nothing else compares to a rotor engine.

the porsche is faster tops out at 160mph, its an S model so it is just like a 944. they give more credit to the RX7 on here and I don’t know why, i’d buy the 924S over an RX7 anyday. BTW phone dial rims are not ugly at all.

I’d have to say I see just as many gsl-se’s as gs’s or gsl’s. I own an 82′ RX-7 that I got given to me!
July 30th, 2009 at 3:33 am
They look very similar, but my god those porsche’s rims are ugly! And i prefer Mazda rather than porsche…
July 30th, 2009 at 3:33 am
thats true, but there is a huge difference between the average 1st gen and the GSL-SE, GSL-SE’s have differnt lug patterns, drivetrain, and a completely differnt interior. not to mention GSL-SE’s are very rare and hard to find these days b/c they were only in production for 2 years (84-85)
July 30th, 2009 at 3:33 am
first gens came with fuel injection too..it was called the GSL-SE. Which was the exact same set-up they put in the 2nd gens.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:33 am
actually, i dont think it was better by much though..
July 30th, 2009 at 3:33 am
They both look like shit.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:33 am
thats a bunch of shit, the 2nd gens had better fuel mileage than the 1st gens b/c they were fuel injected, the old 1st gens had factory 4 barrel carbs.
