Definitely better on the eyes. Power-wise though limited I believe. Good looking car though for sure.

Here is my .02 for what it is worth. Keep the child no matter what. You will need him or her to change your diapers and take care of your needs in the long run. The red FD looks to hold original value best but the white one will likely put a bigger smile on your face when banging gears around the block. If your needing to unload one to make room for a Supra decide what you may want or need when you actually get one. Will the Supra be a pampered car? Maybe you want to keep the banger so you have something to pound on. Then again, You may have to keep them all!

sorry I wasn’t more help, I have car issues...

Actually, I think you have hit the nail on the head. The fd that I can bang on was my initial reason for grabbing the CW. Appreciate your .02 cents.

If you are looking for big power then maybe the Supra is easier to achieve that, not that the NSX can't be made fast either just takes more effort. I always go for the look, that's something you are stuck with, but you can make any car go fast on a straight line.

I’m hoping that this is the greatest sales strategy ever created, because I’d really prefer not to believe that manhood has sunk so low we need to rely on popular opinion for such a decision. You won’t make a worthy parent if you can’t handle something as simple as whether to sell a physical possession or not on your own. That would actually be rather pathetic imo, but seems to be where some people would have us go now ...

@TeamRx8,

Honestly this is not a sales strategy. That would imply an alterior motive. I don’t know you, but I am not that kind of person.

Now on to the matter. The Poll was started because as far as I could see there is a premium placed on the rare colors like the CW and CYM as opposed to the VR etc. I wanted an honest opinion from fellow members as to long term value regardless of color premiums.

Now to your rude post. I would not direct comments of this nature at any forum member. And, it is sad that you had to post as such.

Some have added their opinions and I am grateful for that.

It would seem that in your world “manhood” is defined as one that never seeks the opinion of their peers. And, worse yet, that kind of man would make a poor parent. That’s a very interesting world you live on bud!

If you have something valuable to add please do so. If not, please move on. No harm, no foul.

Be well! I wish You the best in your world.

Really? This is not a way to win friends and influence people. Rather useless comment. This isn't Twitter, but I guess that's where some people would have us go...

There was a time when members on this forum couldn't wait to slam/bully anyone for anything. I remember having lots of rounds with certain people who thought it was cool to judge others so they could feel superior. Glad we've all grown up and become boring old men. Clearly drama sells which is why twitter, insta, fb etc... are the current places where people prefer to hang out. Lets face it, people want drama and some dude discussing his car decisions is boring LOL.

Sell them both and buy a 996 or 7 GT3 If any car has proven to hold value and become a big time collector it's the 911. Supra's are too big/fat for me. OR if you actually like driving the FD keep the car that gives you the most driving satisfaction. Sounds crazy but at my current age a mostly stock FD serves me best .

My favorite cars:
FD
GT3
E30 m3
E45 m3
s2k
etc....

Because of size and weight the supra, corvette, mustang, viper etc.... would be pretty far down the list. I know the e45 is also heavy but it's a sport sedan and actually drives decently.

PS I think the EV thing along with self driving cars is going to have an incredible impact on old car values. Whether it's up or down that's the question.

There was a time when this forum wasn’t buggy as all get out and also when common sense prevailed. So after having my original thoughts erased 5 or 6 times in a row because the forum seems to keep refreshing itself out of the blue over and over again I rushed through the response. Not to make excuses, but I honestly perceive it more as a for sale ad as initially stated. The common sense factor is nothing will likely be sold unless the bottom line asking price is met. So the answer is ultimately, one, both, or none depending on that factor alone. Imo anything else is irrelevant. This is a public discussion area and in addition to that just being my take on it no different than anyone else, my further feelings about where society seems to be heading is not really needed. If we don’t agree or you want to read your own judgement into it, then fine.

i voted keep cw and sell VR for the supra. the vr is in better condition but VR is a dime a dozen.

I really hate to admit this but you are right about the dime-a-dozen comment!

Over the last year or so I have watched the for sale listings on Rx-7s. And, while there is a never ending stream of VR/MB/BB cars, there is hardly ever a CW or SSM for sale. Forget about the CYM unicorn. I do concede that the rare colors do tend to sell faster and command a higher premium. However, this is not the case if the car is in a medium or poor condition. Hence, I believe the condition of the car will matter in the long-term.

It was good to see some feedback validating the condition of the car as being an indispensable factor in my final decision. As such, I do believe I should keep both and work on cleaning up the CW - it's definitely cheaper to do this, than to buy a Supra anyway.

Thanks to all that contributed.

Your red FD is beautiful and tastefully modified. The tasteful mods, original paint, non-touring is where the money is. For the love of God please do not remove the accessories and swap the motor. Despite what people say, FDs make excellent street cars - pulling out the A/C and power steering really compromises their ability.

Some of us will only consider cars without sunroofs, yours also has R1 parts which are a plus.
