I am selling a very fast and well-sorted 1993 Mazda RX7 R1 racecar. Built and driven by Peter Farrell in the IMSA Firehawk/ESS/GrandAm series. Also driven by Boris Said and Mitch Piper, among others.
Makes 350HP at the wheels, which puts flywheel output somewhere around 390-400HP. The car weighs only 2600LB wet.
Current SCCA logbook in ITE. All safety equipment up to date. Ready to race!
More details and link to auction here:

Well, I'm not exactly trying to "get rid of it" - I don't want to sell it, but circumstances dictate that I should.
But you're right - it has taken a while. If I were selling an ITA/B/C/S or SS car, I'd have a line of people trying to buy it. It seems that my target audience is quite small, and I have to get the word out to them at the right time.
Assuming I sell it, I hope that someday I might be able to buy it back. You never know...
Good luck

The motor that is in the car now is not the same one from the IMSA days. I can't speak for what he did to the motor at that time...
