FC's look exactly like Dodge Daytonas.

Atleast that was the expert opinion of the guy working the drive thru at Burger King. I pulled up and he asked me what kind of car I was driving. When I told him it was a Mazda RX-7, he said it looked exactly like a Dodge Daytona.
I laughed, and said "Yeah, I guess it does a little."
Then he said, "No, not a little, it looks exactly like it. I know because I used to own one."
Obviously this guy knew a whole lot about cars, because he works at Burger King that's in the same parking lot as Autozone. He must see cars all day long, and that's why he's such an expert on them.

Hehe, seriously though, I guess FC's do look a little like Daytona's, but they definately don't look "exactly" like them.

There are similarities. If I can't find an FC when I goto get my new baby, then I may go for a daytona. My pops had on, and that thing rocked.

I can see a resembleance definately, but daytonas are nasty, while FC's are nice Daytonas are too squared off and boxy, and the interiors are nasty.

I can see comparisons to the Porsche 944, but the Dodge Daytona? Not really, except in the rear end.

Wasn't the FC mazda's "944 killer?"

Daytona's are nasty, they just don't have the beauty of the Fc.

I thought the FCs were modeled after the 928's, not the 944s, but i might be wrong.. I personally would like a 911

Man that is funny I worked on one of those today. I was pulling it into the bay at work and when I got in the kid that owned it was like is that your red car outside(my t2) I was like yes.
Oh what year daytona is that? he says.
89 i reply

the kid now has a confused look on his face when he says well why doesnt mine look like that, mine is an 89 also.

I just said because mine is a turbo!


I hate stupid people!

I would rather a 944 over the 911, simply because I like the way it looks more, but that's just me

There's about 15 daytona's all parked on some guys lot here, and I don't think they look like FC's at all from the front, the doors and the quarters kind of resemble it, but I think they are quite distinguishable

Daytona's are butt ugly, how can you confuse that lol

ive had people ask me if its a "Toyota Celica, Dodge Daytona, Plymouth Duster, Eclipse, Talon, Probe, and Laser"

so ive gotten pretty much all of it, and then people give me a really funny look when they ask how many pistons and i say none.

i swear to god that people ask me at least 4 times before they can comprehend that my car has no pistons, its like
"How many pistons does it have" and i say "well it doesnt, its a rotary", then they go "oh, so how many pistons does it have"

that will continue for about 5-10 mins, its annoying

Agent_D: You are quite the wise burger burner! I always get people asking me about cams valves and pistons when I talk about my rx7, and I just sigh and give them the "You retard, leave me alone" look. They always have some screwed up idea's for me to try to make it run better, like adjusting my valves, new piston rings, higher compression pistons, and ahh I swear, it's depressing!

The piston question gets me every time. I start laughing before I can answer them the first time. So many blank stares..........
"You got a 4-banger under there?"
"Nope."
"Really! A V-6 huh?"
"No. No pistons."
"none?....... why not?........ no pistons?"
"Nope, no pistons."
"Then hows it run, smart ***?"
