Un-realistic:

The interesting thing about the RX7 is that it has a Rotary Wankel engine with only 0.6 litres in capacity. It is a rocket ship though, 0-60 in 5.6 and will do 150 mph. They re quite rare and its hard to find one that hasn't been modified. Some would say that they re a bit too Fast and Furious

Well almost... They are a little over 0.6 litres per rotor housing, so they come out as a 1.3 liter for the 2-rotor versions. But you are right about finding one that has not been too modified. The one in the picture was bone stock when I bought it. THe only things I added to it were for reliability only.

Similar cars would include the Supra Turbo, a Skyline GTR, or a Toyota Celica GT4. They re all good Japanese pocket rockets, but the RX7 is easily the least common and the most classy of these cars.

Yep but again while it's 1.3L for a 2 rotor the way the combustion chamber works you're really getting about 2.6L equiv for a piston engine. I had a 05 RX-8 before the Lotus, it was a blast but sucked down premium gas like there was no tomorrow and only made 170 whp.

My dream car?

One that doesn't use any gas.

One that's quiet, still gets around comfortably (no silly limits like "goes up to 50 miles on a single charge!"), convenient (removable seats, roof rack for the kayaks, plenty of space for golf bags).

I want the car we could all be driving around right now if George W. Bush had invested 1% of what he's spent on the war in Iraq the day he took office into alternative energy sources for our automobiles.

This is as close as I can find you:

The hybrid version gets around 300mpg and has room for 2 golf bags. Too bad they are only available in Cali for now. http://www.aptera.com

My uncle is always buying and selling high end cars. He had an SL63 AMG when I saw him last, I've been in some fast cars in my time but that thing was nuts, the fun part was slamming on the brakes hard and just hanging off the seatbelts.

The problem with driving a car like that versus say the SL55 AMG is that it comes with wheels and a body kit that make it look more hotted up. As a result every bugger and their brother wants to race you. About 18 months ago my father had a BMW M6 and he got bored of morons in Subaru Imprezas wanting to race on the motorway...the first couple of times it was fun watching them just disappear very quickly into the rear view mirror then slowing to 80mph and letting them pass

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
