I say it is a traditional roadster..... Don't think he has enough power in stock form to be honest. The FD Rx7 was Mazda's last bona fide sports car unless you call the Rx8 one, but I never liked the aesthetic on that car but I know it put out some good figures....
The s2000 and the FD Rx7 were always on my short list. Prefer the Honda for reliability......

The S2000 does a fantastic job of having most of the Miata's minimalist sportscarness, with very nearly the same power/weight as the FD. Good job, Honda!

Now if they made an FD Rx7 roadster..... I'd be in one of those....

Haha... Maybe not the craziest question...... Because I almost bought a 1993 FD Mazda Rx7 back in 1998 and I found the perfect one in silver with red leather like I wanted.... Guess what???? Automatic.... LOL
No thanks...... Not to mention I lived in apartment at time and didn't want to park that beauty on the street.....

The wind noise over my 120-mile/day commute is fatiguing and taking its toll on my hearing
I'm contemplating replacing it with a 996, but I'd really rather have this:

Probably not until they have them nailed down! Those cars were definitely not production ready, I would guess they haven't determined exactly how much power they are making, etc. This is looking like a late 2015 release at this point.
