A GSL-SE will get beaten, a GSL will get soundly beaten, and you don't even
have an LSD, so in ES, you have very little chance of doing well,
unfortunately... And CSP requires a lot of $$$...

OR go to FP and spend double $$$, but at least you can be fairly 
competitive there.

If you do go CSP, you'll need the GSL-SE rear end.  Then install a Miata 
Torsen in place of the clutch pack LSD.  And if you do put in the GSL-SE 
rear you'll now have two different lug spacings (front & rear), so you'll 
need to buy wheels in twos or convert the front while you're at it.  Can 
you see the money flow yet?

Maybe drive it on the street and find a better stock Solo 2 car?

I concur.  If you WANT and LOVE to drive the RX-7, then do so with a good 
reality check.  Even if you don't have a Lady co-driver, paint the L on the 
car.  8^)
