are rx7's and rx8's good for long distance driving? or is it bad for the motor??? how many miles a day do you do

 

I bought my GSL-SE with 109000. I personally made 1 round trip to Dallas(1500mi), 2 round trips to Houston(1800mi each) 2 round trips to Pheonix (800mi each), and 2 trips to Sevenstock (2000mi R.T. each). I sold it and to this day it still runs with over 200K on the stock motor. My current TII has been to Sevenstock twice, Denver twice(900mi R.T.), and before the motor went made a 500mi round trip about once every six weeks. Keep up the maintenance and they run awesome on the highway. My TII is by far the most comfortable car for me for long road trips.

 

We drove the 7 back from Orlando 600-700 miles.

I have a GSLSE and am tired of seeing it in the garage I want to drive it more often but I drive 120 miles a day for work.

 

Get into some kind of weekend motorsport like Auto-X or something if you have the time or just pull it out on the weekends.

I do bring it out on weekends as much as I can, I wish there was a 7stock in NJ

 

my gsl-se would do the 380miles to buttonwillow, 150miles ON THE TRACK, and then the 380 miles back home, without opening the hood.



my fc went to sevenstock 3 times, twice with the 3 rotor, no problems at all

 

yeah i wouldnt worry about it if its in good shape. especially if you are cruising

I dont cruise I like to hear the red line beep

 

I just drove 2 hours the other day at 90+ on I-95 with my 85 GS, I had the motor at about 5200 or more RPM's the whole trip. The only thing I can say is when I pull off the interstate after driving for a bit it seems like Ive lost a bit of power but like 5 minutes later it gets it right back.



I daily drive my 7 but it still only has a little over 90k on the clock too so Im sure that helps quite a bit.
