What do you like most about your FB?
This question came to mind while driving my FB on the highway. What is the one most important thing that you love about your FB? If you had to pick one thing. I myself love how it "settles" itself on the road while driving. By that I mean how it just seems so well poised on the road. Feels perfectly balanced, everytime I hit a dip in the road, the way it bounces just right as if to say "Got Grip?" Car feels so perfectly balanced on the road, as if it just floats. I love how it gives the impression of outstanding handling, if that makes any sense.
So, what is the one thing everyone else loves about their FB?

yeah, the whole "rotaries suck" thing really gets on my nerves sometimes, especially when it comes from people who know NOTHING about cars. god, i want to punch his lights out, "brokeback joel"
anyway,
i love how rare it is up here, and how simple and easy to work on it is.

For me, its the aggressive sort of predatory look of the nose in particular, with the long downward shaped hood. It looks as a sports car should. Also, the torque for such a small powerplant. I took a friend for a ride who drives a 260 hp all wheel drive Talon, and asked if it felt like only 135hp to him, and he was shocked that's all it was!
I would like it better if it had square headlights sunk into the front edge of the bumper and not the pop-ups as I drive with headlights on all the time, but you can't have everything. I also wish parts were easier to come by as I'm restoring to 100% factory original.

I agree with those who say the simplicity, and the fact that it looks the way a sports car should look. I like the well balanced feel and the way it accelerates on the freeway with all that torque - well, actually, that may be because of the Ford V8.

VERY different very easy to work on. My FB has a COLD working A/C, nice stereo set up, comfortable enough for me for everyday use and its just fun.

i think the one thing i love the most about my rx7 would be this forum, without this place, i would have a ginormous spoiler and all kinds of lights...now ive sunk about 6 grand into it, and it still looks the same... all of that money is almost all of the money ive made in the last 3 years, and i think that says alot, still being a highschool student.
oh, yea, i also like the snail.
