did anyone on this forum buy an FC when it was BRAND SPANKIN NEW??? Or has anyone owned an FC since it was new?
I am wondering what was the rotary like when it had like 900 miles on it??? Also has the performance gone down since the car was new??

I can tell you that my car is as fast as a 1988 10th which had a rebuilt engine, 10k miles on motor. I test drove this 10th over the summer. It was damn close to mine.

Well, I'm the second owner and the previous owner was my step-dad's best friend. I was actually in the car when he test drove it brand new. I don't remember too much about the test drive though, seeing as how I was only 9 at the time. I do remember it seemed fast.
And usually, if an engine is broken in properly, you can squeeze more performance out of them when they're a bit older. But at a point, performance will detiorate as the engine reaches the end of its life.

My first FC, bought brand new with about 27 miles on it.
I sold it with about 130K on it. Ran as good the day I bought it as the day I sold it.
I also have a 88 GTU that my dad bought new after driving my Sport. It has about 53K miles on it. Little heavier car but still runs fine.

he was selling a 20oz bottle and he said that would last a lifetime, since you really only need to do the **** once in a while.
