Why oh why was it removed after GT2? What a lovely classic it is, would be a great addition.
I have owned three Rx7s (two first gens and a second gen), an Rx8, and I have had quite a bit of experience with third gen Rx7s as well. The first generation has always been, and will always be my favorite of the rotary powered cars I've had experience with. Every year that a Gran Turismo game comes out I wait anxiously, patiently, and hopefully that another SA/FB will be included, preferably the 12A Turbo model, but alas I cannot have any such luck. Forza Motorsports 4 added a GSL-SE model (13B powered) as DLC, and I utilized it for every race I could from the lowest class to A Class in that game. I want to do the same in GT6 (even if I am over 90% completed and have no regular internet access.)

One of Mazda's best selling cars of all time, and the predecessor to the FC3S RX-7, and FD3S RX-7. The car that started the rotary revolution, and hooked many enthusiasts in North America with it's high revving engine, classic sports car styling, and great handling chassis, all for a low entry cost, and helped put Mazda on the map as a fun-loving enthusiast oriented brand.

Production Years: 78'-85'
Original Specs: 12A Rotary Carbureted, 100 HP, 1,000 Kgs
Noteworthy Related Models:
GSL-SE (84'-85' first debut of the 135 HP 13B power plant with fuel injection, with a Limited Slip)
Savanna Turbo (83'-84' with a 165hp 12A turbocharged powerplant)
Would make an excellent addition since it's feature in GT2.

Excellent choice. I've always been a fan of the FB and I'd love to see it return to the series.

This also is why my nomination hasn't had a new post in it for a while now.
This model RX-7 was (and still is) very popular in the modifying and tuning market in real life. And the essence of what Gran Turismo was about right from the start, was upgrading and tuning cars, not just race cars, but street cars you can see on the road everyday. It was really the first game to ever do that and included an enormous variety of performance street cars.
By leaving out the above RX-7, the game is missing a key element which made it successful from the start.
