Mazda RX-7 RZ

The Mazda RX-7 Type RZ (FD) (in-game as just RX-7 RZ) was a Limited Edition model of the Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) (Series 8). It is referred to by tuner enthusiasts as the kouki (late-model) FD to distinguish it from the zenki (early-model) FD

The RZ is one of the most advanced models of the RX-7 series since it has a higher power output and improved handling capabilities because of its new ABS system.

Overall Performance
The Mazda RX-7 RZ has a stock top speed of 256 km/h (159 mph) which is around average for Class C cars. It has a strong acceleration with strong gears especially its lower ones. The nitrous output of the RZ is fairly average at best. The handling is very good and responsive and features more grip and better steering than its sister model FD.

For Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape the RZ can perform well. It can go through roadblocks fairly easily and because of its responsive handling it can dodge rhinos very well. However, since the RZ has low weight it cannot take head-on collisions with them very well.
