Vehicle Description
Combine a sleek, aerodynamic shape and a modest curb weight with a
potent, modern engine and you have yourself quite a ride! This 1994
Mazda RX7 LS1 is an outstanding performer and is propelled by a
professionally installed high performance powerplant anchoring a
drivetrain that's in top form. This sharp sports car is looking
great both inside and out and comes with a clean AutoCheck report
to confirm that it hasn't run afoul of any immovable objects during
its years of service.
As a '94, this Mazda debuted as a member of the model's third
generation and was equipped with a form that differed markedly from
its predecessors - most notable is its broad track, which pairs
with a low, road hugging stance to provide an advantageous center
of gravity, actually forcing the car to be reclassified in its
native Japan. It's wearing an outstanding coat of NU Vintage Red
paint, with a strong clearcoat over the top to produce a radiant
shine. With no flaws of note anywhere in sight and clear lighting
at both ends, the overall presentation of the car doesn't stray
from what it already featured upon first leaving the factory, so
onlookers will have no clue as to the substantial power it's
wielding.
You'll find a well-appointed interior waiting inside. The black
high-backed bucket seats, with their integrated head rests, are
nicely bolstered to provide support for more spirited driving and
straddle a center console that's in fine shape. Up front in the
dash area, gauges in the instrument cluster remain easily readable,
while just to their right, the controls positioned at the center of
the dash are in good order and sit next to an aftermarket AM/FM/CD
stereo that provides a strong audio experience. A flick of a switch
inside the cockpit opens the sunroof to yield an open-air driving
experience, and it too is in great condition, sealing tightly when
closed to keep the elements out. Open the hatch in back and you'll
be surprised at how much space sits before you - plenty of room for
luggage for two to be stowed comfortably and lined with an expanse
of stain-free black carpet.
The fuel injected 5.7 liter engine that now propels this Mazda
received some attention to its heads and had a mild performance cam
installed before being put in place - nothing drastic, just enough
to enhance its already considerable muscle without compromising
driving experience. As a result, the powerplant is now good for
around 380 horses and, when you consider that this car weighed in
at substantially less than 3,000 lbs in factory trim when it
debuted, you can imagine its abilities. The swap was done
seamlessly, so everything inside the compartment is as tidy as can
be, and the accompanying 6 speed manual transmission shifts
smoothly and is geared to take full advantage of the engine's
output. A full front subframe was installed at the same time the
swap was being undertaken, and the MacPherson strut suspension that
came with it pairs with an independent rear suspension, so this
Mazda is a nimble corner carver. The power steering is nice and
smooth but precise and power disc brakes in both front and back
provide all the stopping ability you could want. This skillfully
enhanced performer cruises the asphalt on a set of very clean 16"
factory wheels wrapped with Yokohama tires.
Carrying the outstanding power to weight ratio so coveted by
performance enthusiasts and in fine form both inside and out, this
1994 Mazda RX7 LS1 is an absolute blast to drive and a joy to look
at. Call today!
