I have loved my easy button for over 15 years.
To address Mr Young's obvious envious statements about the Rx-7 - "but they have a lot of maintenance requirements and can be finicky".
I recently looked at the date of the parts bill for my last engine rebuild. March, 1997!! Not a typo. The engine in my Rx-7 was last rebuilt by Rob May when he worked at ISC over 14 years ago.
Yes, the gearboxes are the weak link but if you are smooth (= fast) you can get by with occasionally replacing synchronizers.
Yes, I am biased.
