They
don’t build cars like they used to. In some cases, that’s a good thing,
but if you can find one of these fine sports cars from the 1970s,
you’re in luck. The list has plenty of Lamborghinis and Ferraris, but
there are also vehicles that you might have owned at one time, like the
Mazda RX7.
The first RX-7 models made their
entrance into the sports car scene in 1978 for the 1979 model cars. The
debut was an instant success, as opposed to its predecessors: the
rotary-powered coupes RX-3 and Cosmo 110. The RX-7 came with a 1.1L
rotary engine producing 105 lb ft. of torque and 100hp, which was enough
to accelerate the 2350 pounds of metal from 0-60 in less than ten
seconds. The engine was compact and super light, making it easier to be
fitted behind the front axle. It was also uniquely sleek and featured an
integrated electric buzzer to warn motorists against blasting through
the 7k rpm red line
Mine was blue. See the rest of
