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.

Man next time tell him to **** off i cant stand that when people tell me it looks like other cars i dont give a **** its not it so dont say it looks like.... i dont care i also cant stand that "other" question so how many pistions that thing has...oh **** that shut your mouth- sorry im just pissed

 

Well lets see, he used to own a dodge daytona, and confuses another car to be it. I guess hes not to inteligent.

 

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

 

no way, 1970-75 911 Classic porsche styling

 

YEAH! all 80s cars look the same! Like Firebirds!

 

No way, by best friend has a beater daytona. No resemblance. It looks like ***.

 

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

 

I thought we broke the ice about the intellegence when he said the guy worked at burger king?

 

hey hey, i work at a fast food place, lol, except i actually know what im talking about most of the time lol

 

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!

 

hahahahaha, yea i hear ya man

 

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 ***?"

 

the only thing I liked about Daytonas it that I used to know a hot chick that had one

 

its ok... i work at a crappy restaurant...

 

I'm one of two network administrators at an internet service provider, but sometimes I wish i was flipping burgers instead!

 

Yeah the other day a guy asked me in front of my house how many cylindars does it have and i'm like guess.

he says 4-my response-haha hell no
6???-nope i grin
holy crap you have a v8 in there? and he walks off. yeah pretty ******* randon that a person walking down the street asks me the **** while i'm working on my car.

needless to say i had to chuckle about that one for a while

 

Hmm a little boxier but kinda similar. Didn't FCs come out before though?
