Top end speed is nothing spectacular for an old RX7! Besides, this is not what beginners should be thinking about. Low cost, easy to drive. RX7 is not a bad way to go. Got a great CMC third gen for sale for $10k, set-up is very low maintenance due to choosing the right parts (Dana 44, forged axles, etc.) also very easy to drive.
