Probably going to get **** for this but....If I HAD to give up my FD probably a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda!

 

A smart car...

 

I had no choice,the wife kept the FD,and it sold at auction for $4500.Yup,it's called divorce.Now I'm driving a 325Ci with a rotary shirt on

 

That ZR-1 looks cherry hope it becomes a collector item someday.

Regarding the topic at hand... I gave up an FD before, and after trying a few other cars in between, I went back to an FD. So to answer the question, if I had to give up my FD, I'd get another FD

 

This is a recurring pattern because there is no car made that's capable of haunting you like an FD.

 

Very clean, congrats. Collectible for sure.

 

a hybrid

 

^^ talk about quotable. someone should put this in their sig

 

I had to gave up my FD to pay off something at the time.... BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE :'(
I regret every day I remember it and would like to own another FD.

Now if I didnt have to give it up for something important and just would like to upgrade, Id probably want a RWB Porsche 911 964 or a R34 Skyline

 

I would give up my FD for a 2006 M3 Competition

Other than that.....I can't find a good replacement that will give me the same ownership satisfaction.

 

I'd buy another FD...Just like I did

 

what other cars did you try?

 

I don't have an FD, but i've wanted one since I was 15. What I would consider giving up for an FD is this my 911!






maybe I"ll find a roller soon to start my addiction

 

my first choice will always be my mkiv supra...

...closely & i mean closely followed by my fd.

 

I know someone that had a 400whp FD and bought a 996 9114s.... I didnt see him for one year, until I saw him with a new FD at a local meet.

he sold the 911 and went back to his rotary roots. My buddies dad has a 9964s as well and I gotta say its a cool car, engine but unbearably uncomfortable. The suspension and seats are soo uncomfortable and the transmission is weird. Car was fun but we would get beat on by daddy's boys driving BMW 335i's or M3's.

 

i gave up my 20B FD and now i own a twin turbo c6 Z06.

two different animals.. i still miss my fd.

 

Not exactly sure, we finished tuning it on the street and cranked the boost to 10 psi. It's probably around 500 whp.

 

Pics?

What's your impression on both cars?

I know your 3 rotor was insane and a tt ls7 is also no joke.

How would you compare the 2?

 

Ford GT 40. now I just need $200,000.00.

 

lol I'm curious too.

 

Guys for future protection of vehicles like Mafuazdas, can I suggest vasectomy and prenups? That way you can devote your life efficiently to the creation of an amazing fd

 

My FD was a blast to drive and it sounded sexy as hell and very unique.

The Z is not 20 years old like my FD was and is very comfortable and practical around town and gets amazing gas mileage for a car that makes over 1200whp.

the power and torque is almost instant and it handles amazing just like the FD. I haven't had a chance to track the Z yet but im sure is just as fast as the FD if not faster around the same tracks.

forgot to mention.. VERY RELIABLE

 

I haven't given up on mine yet but here is my DD for the time being, plus Hyundai is paying for the MPG I can't achieve!!!

 

God that's awful^. Any engine bay pics of the Z06?

 

Since I'm doing mostly track events with her, either a track-prepped C6 Z06, Caymen, or a purpose-built Mazda GT:
