I have owned a lot of nice cars but my first true 2 seat sports car was a 1984 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE. Silver w/red leather and it was a beauty. It was the first with the 13B engine and the SE model had larger wheels & tires, brakes, heavier anti-sway bars, better clutch and limited slip rear end. It was a real bullet. At about 85K miles though, it developed a serious howl in the rear end and I was looking at about $1800 to fix it so I traded it in for a '92 Toyota MR2. That was a fun car too but underpowered. Another 50 horses or the turbo version would have been something else.
