How rare is your FC?

I was wondering how many RX7's are cruising your streets besides yer own.
I live in Augusta GA, the second largest city in Georgia and ive only counted a handful of rotories in the past 5 years here.
3 running Fb's
5-6 S4's
1 S5(my own)
2 S6's (ones my freinds the other i dont think was local.)

sorta off topic, but the last 5 digits of my vin are 00009. Meaning that it was the 9th car to roll out of the factory in 1990. But there are quite a few 7's in houston.

Very few random ones here in Central PA. I think from the NE forums, I've counted 3 at best. Seen on the road.. 2 FB's, 1 FC (pizza delivery kid), 1 FD in Hershey that didn't know what he had...

DemonicPupil is right. There's very few here in central PA.. I've seen two within about 50 miles of me, and one guy wouldn't wave back, the other was just on the highway, I think passing through. In my town, there's two that I know of, and they're both in my driveway. I'm moving to st. college, though, so I know of two people with FCs up there.

3 In my area. S4 T2 (mine) S4 NA (mine), and this guy with a red S4 with a black primered hood NA, who's inside is yellow, **** rug. His girlfriend claims to have one also, so I guess there MIGHT BE 4.

I dunno if he lived there but when I was down in PA for the Nascar Pennsylvania 500 i saw a black/grey/primer fc. Just thought Id share.

ANyway Ive seen a handful in bklyn and a dozen in queens not counting the 20+ that sit outside my mechanic.

Theres a guy just 2 blocks from me that has 2 fb's and a fc that he never brings out of the garage. Theres also a dude around my girls neigborhood with a vert and a TII. I saw one FD on that same street but only one time.

Its funny this thread came up cause I was driving to ym girls house the other day, just the 2nd day my fc has been running and i passed a blue fc, i think i recognized him from nycrotaryrockets video of the trip to rotorfest.

There are two S4 Turbo IIs in my area, one being mine, and the other is about 15 minutes away from me. Other than those two, there are none. And mine is the only one of the two modified, so mine's more rare. Along with the color. I believe it's the 3A color code, the darker red. I love it

does anyone actually have the stats of all the fc's in the US (from production)? like by model/year/color. i always see fd owners contemplating how many of their 7's are left from the start but ive never seen the stats for fc's. i really love to know how many other fc's like mine (s5 Tii black/black) were made for the US

The only hard fact i know is that 75% of FC's are S4's 25% are S5's. And the 86 model year is the most prevelant model year by far.

Half a dozen S4's one was my parts car
a few S5's 2 are mine
a couple FD's
Now and then I see a FB as well.
Saw 1 GTUs Old woman driving it to a service garage
A far as the numbers are concerned, Icemark knows all of that and has posted it somewhere before.
