The latest issue of Road&Track has a long article on the 1986 RX-7 and
I would expect the next issue of Car and Driver to have one as well. They
both should hit the news stands within a few days.

In short:
	0-60		7.9s
	60-0		157ft
	slalom		62.0mph
	lat. acc.	.86g
	top speed	128mph

R&T says it is very close to a 944 in every respect. They really liked it.
The biggest complaint was that the interior was not as nice as they expected
in a $20,000 car.

Price was estimated at ~$20k. Base price ( according to a Mazda ad in the same
issue is $11,995 for the base and $16,600 for the GXL top end car.
