The looks. My car is 11 years old and it STILL turns heads. Name another car that you can say the same about that didnt originally cost over 50K.

The engine. Rotaries are silky smooth and will rev to the sky with nothing to worry about. Not to mention being able to rev to 8800 rpm. If I didnt have a rev limiter, I could rev higher with no worries. my car is still pulling at the rev limiter.

Mods. Theyre dirt cheap, period. For turbos, 100 hp from full exhaust, FCD and TID. Thats probably about $1000. $1000 on an S2000 will get you Mugen headers that add 2 hp.

These cars handle like a dream. 'nuff said.

My reason is simply, FC is the only gen you can get a RX7 in convertible form.(without having to pay a **** load to chop the top off a coupe) Come on, can you think of any droptop out there that can come close to the bang for the buck of a FC convertible! It may be a tad slow, but it's a hella of a fun car to drive and it has never fail to put a smile on my face after a drive.

That would depend on what's been done to the FC. Stock for stock I would agree, but the way I am currently set up I don't see very many cars that would leave me in the corners.

Oh man, this makes me want an FC just so much more

They look good stock
Are known for great handling, and track cars
I love the hatch area of em
Originallity on the engine
I love when series 4 taillights have the covers painted body color
And be sure to get the moulding while you're at it
The series 5 taillights look great (but I think I like painted Series 4 lights better)

They're reasonably cheap for a sports car I lvoe and can still afford


I want a series 5 N/A so bad but anything will do, I just want my RX-7
