A friend of mine has an '85 RX7 (last of the original series, and a GSE no less) with some mods, including exhaust replacement. It's such a great sounding engine. I love that a little redline alarm goes off not because you're in danger of blowing it up, but because you're out of the power band at that point. You can't really blow up a rotary engine like you can a piston engine - it doesn't have crap like spring-loaded valves to bounce. As long as it has oil, it's happy.
And no fake anything in that car! You really feel the road when you're driving, feel the mechanicals as well as hear them. I really should buy it from him one of these days.

Never heard one from an RX8 owner (only shock from new owners who didn't read-up on how the engine operates, and thought they had a leak someplace!). If you changed your oil out when you were supposed to, chances were you'd never notice it eating oil.
