FC vs FD

So which car do you like the most? and post your reasons why you love that car.

for me, i have to say FC . When i was 10 (1985) my dad bought me a remote control FC. i told my dad thanks for the porshce. he tells me, son that is not a porche, that is a RX7 a real mans car. from that day on, it became my favorite car. that my cousin ended up giving his for my graduation present (class of 1994) because he bought a FD and was not using the car any more. also he knew that i wrecked my 2nd car (AE86).

But its weird, every time i see a pic of a FC , its just brings a big smile to my face. esepcially when they are done right. but for some reason when i see pics of FD's, its just feels like i am looking at every other car . now dont get me wrong, fd's look nice, but its just doenst bring that smile to my face that FC's do.

so my pick is FC

my work blocks photobucket where i have pics of chrism friends Johny and 95racers FC. infact i dotn even know if these pics are the right ones. all i see is x marks from my past post.

maybe chrism can post better pics of his friends car. both of them are really clean looking.

i would post pics of a FD, but ill leave that for the FD lovers.





i have better pics of this car on photobucket, but nerf work \

Hey, anyone else notice that both of his poll options say the FC is better?

FC FTW or FD FTL

Trickery I tell you. I say FD FTW!

FC's look like Dodge Daytonas(Runs for cover)

Hard choice for me. I love the FB as well. My step mom had the FB, my dad had the FC TII, and my brother has the FD. I love all of them but if I could only have one then it would be the FD.

But if I could have two RX's, then I'd have FC TII and RX8.

Did you get that pic from autobac's thread or did you see it on rx7club? I just posted some pics of this car today. I absolutely love this FD.

This is a really hard question. I'd always loved the FD, but after seeing Rishie from AutoRnD's white FC, I think I have to go with the FC.

I love the curves of the FD. Sorry, but compared to the FC, it still looks modern if you get rid of the popup headlights.

I love them all. SA's, FB's, FC's, FD's. I have a soft spot for FD's though. Can't beat the timeless design, super car performance, and **** reliability .

can't go wrong either way, but I think i'd rather have this than either of them just because it's less common and a true classic

What model is that? My neighbor had something vaguely similar back in the early 70s when I was a kid. My first experience with a rotary other than car magazines. Then they moved away and the new neighbors had a girl my age. First experience of another kind and I forgot all about Wankels for a while.

FD. FCs look so...80s.

What about the 1st gens? I like 'em (well, I used to have one).
