hmm...interesting. i guess it all kind of depends on where you are too i guess. was this guy located in or near a big city?

up here there's no mechanics that could work on a rotarty system...so if you found one, he'd be expensive. but it larger places i could see the demand for that type of mechanic increasing thus bringing down labor costs.
i don't know though

as far as the e30 m3 vs the rx7....stock for stock the m3 would take it.
but with a few k in mods down to both the rx7 will probably take the m3 cause money will go a lot farther on a japanese car than a bmw...plus the rx7 is turbo'd too.
straightline: hands down rx7 though. it would be a good race though to watch the two fly through some twists though.
but from the factory few cars will handle like an e30 m3...too bad they stopped making them:(

my friend and i are twin turbo charging his m3 though....talk about a nimble beast should be an high 11s car that handles like its on rails!

just curious: do you know how much an rx7 weighs? i would assume pretty light...i know the m3 is pretty light as well.
both are great cars though...i'd have a tough time choosing one if i had to pick
