Exceptional handling is essential to a sports car, but it's an elusive quality, hard to define. While engineers know the terminology for vehicle dynamics, on the road it's more than numbers. A good sports car is responsive, smooth, agile. Yet giving a car these valued characteristics is not easy. To achieve the desired subjective results, engineers sort through thousands of objective choices for that optimal balance. The small number of good sports cars proves not all succeed.

As one example of success, consider the Mazda RX-7. With it, Mazda engineers used a sound approach —simplicity and thorough attention to detail. The rear suspension is typical: a simple live axle is located by a sophisticated Watt's link for precise geometry, a system found only on a very few other cars, and they cost thousands of dollars more than the RX-7. Anti-roll bars front and rear reduce body roll angle in cornering and also improve response. The rear shock absorbers are gas-filled for extra control. And the lightweight rotary engine allows a near-50/50 weight distribution, a rarity. In concept, the
RX-7 is simplicity, but laced with sophisticated details.
To demonstrate this sophistication, you need a special place. Come with us to California Highway 1, a legend among great sports car roads. If there is a reward in driving pleasure with the RX-7, it will be found on the 90-odd miles from Hearst Castle, through Big Sur, to Monterey. A tortuous, winding piece of asphalt, the mythological view might be that an ancient god threw a serpent at the edge of the land and it petrified into place forever. That old snake is now a U.S. Scenic Highway. It goes left, right, up, down, in, out, sometimes many of those at once, seldom straight and never for much distance, often wet, never the same twice. Teetering over the Pacific, it's a road clinging to the edge of the continent. It might as well be the edge of the world.

Climb in. From Hearst Castle it winds easily for a few miles along a narrow shelf separating the Pacific from the Santa Lucia Mountains. The bends are gentle, the pavement good, and this day the weather clear
and sunny. Then the shelf disappears, leaving the road hanging onto the cliffs. On one side, hard mountain; on the other, ocean a long way down. Past Salmon Creek, where the old snake makes a big bend into the mountain and you can see the twin waterfalls from the road. By Pacific Valley, rain is starting to fall. Over Big Creek Bridge, the suspension soaks up pavement changes and tar strips
with supple grace. Left, right, up, down, in, out. Through Big Sur and deep forests of pine and fir as the old snake temporarily leaves the ocean. Left, right, up. Swoops, dips, hairpin turns, blind
corners in both directions — Highway 1 swirls like a dervish in and out of the ravines and little valleys that reach down to the Pacific. Down, in, out. On to the famous arched bridge built high over Bixby Creek in 1932. Right, left. By now the rain has stopped. Still: Up, right, in, down, left, out, around, back, through, twist.
This is the car for such a road. The RX-7 matches Highway 1 as closely as modern metal can an ancient serpent of asphalt. Any flaw in axle location, a missed calculation in shock valving, excessive body roll, imprecise steering, it will all show up here over the bumps, patches, the quick left-right-lefts beyond counting. Yet the RX-7 never loses composure. Here, balance is
rewarded, responsiveness welcomed, and careful suspension tuning appreciated. When
the old snake of a road twists back, the quick transient response resulting from substantial anti-roll bars and sure steering makes it an enjoyable slalom. When the pavement gets rough, the firm shock absorber rates and precise rear suspension geometry keep things in control.
A suspension that argues with the road, steering that fights back, springs and shocks that go weak with every twist in the pavement, all these can make any drive hard work. But meld those elements properly and carefully, as in the RX-7, and the drive is worth taking simply on its own merits.
Engineers have terminology for handling qualities. But by Carmel, you've made your own definition. It's RX-7. Engineered for a drive on the edge of the world.
