when we use to go to the 24 hrs of Daytona back in the late 80's, the mazda was horrendously loud.
we were walking along the track in the stands and when any other car came by we would just look as it went by, when a mazda came we had to cover our ears.

I think he was like an 8 time GTU champion back then but danny smith lives down the road from me. use to have an awesome cobra. one of the best sounding V8's I ever heard. have not seen him in quite a while though.

I had an 80 rx7. found a wrecked 83 and used that to rebuild the 80.
I must say, mazda really sucks. all the parts were the same except the thread pitch on all the bolts from the 80 to the 83 was different. even the wheel bolt pattern. I could put the 83 wheels up to the hub on the 80 and it looked like they should go on but they would not.
I think the bolt pattern was like 5mm different.
