Honda S2000 vs Mazda RX-7 FD

The S2000 and RX-7 FD are both lightweight, two-seat sports cars that prioritize driving purity. The S2000's F20C is one of Honda's finest engines with a screaming 9,000 RPM redline and bulletproof reliability. The FD's 13B-REW twin-turbo rotary produces more torque but demands more maintenance. The S2000 is the smarter buy: cheaper, more reliable, and nearly as fun on a canyon road. The FD is the more exotic, more dramatic experience. Both are appreciating, both are rewarding to drive, and both prove that lightweight is the ultimate performance upgrade.
