Anyone catch the 1993 j-spec RX-7 on the cover of May's Turbo magazine? Now while I can appreciate the amount of money and work that went into this car, doesnt it seem a bit much? Im mainly talking about all the gadgets on the dash and surrounding the dash, is all that being out in the open neccesary? Especially the tach next to the shifter no less. Ill post some pics if anyone hasnt seen it, otherwise a killer car...

Hmmm, watch 3 screens, BEHIND you, play PS2, and drink beer. It all makes sense when you have to look at the emergency brake handle to know when to shift.

While we are at it, whats the purpose of spending all that money ona carbon fibre hood just to have it go to **** because you dont want to paint it, and I quote: "so everyone can see the exotic materials its constructed of". Not for nothing, I cant ( or rather dont want to ) afford a car like that, but Ill be dammed if I spend that kind of money on a carbon fibre hood and NOT paint it, so others can see its carbon fibre, thats just an example of someone doing something to thier car solely so others can ooh and ahh.
