Snagged the pics off the dealer's site before we went to buy it. Haven't taken any pics of my own yet .. too much snow.

I own the 07 c320 4matic and this is a great ride. I love how smooth it feels. The only thing that i absolutely hated about this thing was there is no room in the back. I had driven my friends around and i'd get so many complaints on this matter, so i decided to test it out myself and It is just a dread to sit back there!! This is definitely not your average family car, but for a 3 person ride. It is phenomenal.

I've got an A6 2.7T S-line just like this one, but in Meteor Gray metallic. 265hp, 280ft.lbs @1800rpm. It's got sway bars and coilovers, but I haven't done anything to the ECU yet. Will probably wait until the CPO warranty is out for that. Also thinking about putting on some 18" Hartmann S8-style wheels. I don't like the thin spoke RS4 wheels that everyone and their grandmother puts on their Audis.

The 37Z is a bit loud but not anymore than other sport cars or sport coupes. What I miss is 100 ft-lb's of torque. If you look at the raw numbers the two cars weight about the same but the Vette has 100 ft-lb's more and you can feel the difference. Otherwise, the 370Z with a $13K lower price (base to base comparison) is a very nice car.

So how's the maintenance on those seals?

62,xxx miles and not a single problem. Just took it out from Winter storage today, hooked the battery up, and it fired up within one second.

Sweet looking RX7.

There is just 'something' with wankel engines. Too bad only Mazda make them

There's a reason for that. The power and the silky response are unique to rotary engines, but they also produce no real torque without forced induction, they have serious emissions control problems, and they drink oil by the barrel.

By the barrel? Not quite.

Don't know what you mean about emissions either, not every location requires a lab test of the exhaust fumes, and even if it did, the RX-8s don't have a problem with emissions.

This is why I don't like the atmosphere around the rotary -- too much misinformation. It's really troubling that you have to talk to a real owner of the vehicle in order to get a more informed opinion of the vehicle and debunk those myths that seem to crop up.

Minor rant, sorry.

Nice RX-7, though I've said that before

Nice! Here's a few pictures of mine from awhile back. I'm supercharged as well (Comptech).
