Thumbs up 93-95 RX7 is the best looking & fastest car stock for the money

93-95 Rx7s are by far, the best looking sports cars for the value. You can pick up a clean rx7 for like 16k and get so much respect for it. Everyone is always checking them out, they are beautiful cars, and chicks jock them.

They are quick and they compete with the supra and nsx in style, handling and 1/4 mile times.

Rx7s are by far, the best value for a sports car.

actually i think the 3rd gen RX-7 is so ugly it hurts my eyes. i couldn't think of how to make the car uglier.

And the specific output on that engine is ****.

And on top of that, could the car be any heavier? I mean, christ!

That must be why I'm buying another this week. =)

Maybe we should do a survey, do RX7 owners get more Chicks than supra owners?

not trying to be the only negative one here, but what was 777rx777's point? i mean, i know the point, but what was he trying to gain from this post? we all already have come to a unanimous agreement that his statements are true, or else we wouldnt all be here reading and learning... right?

He just got happy all the sudden and decided that he needed to express his feelings towards his FD. We all know here it happens sometimes. Haven't you ever got out your FD, looked back at it and said "**** yeah"?

yea well if i had an FD im sure i would be like "**** yeah" the entire time while driving it, and i would walk outside numerous times a day just to stare at it... however i dont have mine YET so i guess i just dont know the feeling... but i do get out of my 99 Si, walk away, turn around and say, "****, i want an FD"

Having owned my 2nd FD since I had my last one at 17, nothing beats the **** out of an RX7.

The styling of the FD3S has gone through tons of phases and prototypes before acutally going throught the manufacturing processes....

All these modelling and planning took place back in 1989 believe or not.

It took the Mazda team 4 years to put this driving machine we all adore.

The curves, and rear windshield, the time, effort and pain to reduce the weight while maintaing the luxurious aspect (which most of us would have skipped!)

Find another Twin Turbo car that was manufactured back in 1989 that comes with standard BOVs......

Not to say I do not adore the Supra, 300ZX or 3000GT for that matter....I myself own a 300ZX and love the curves too....

It's not wrong to love other sports cars as a mix of visual stimulation is better than seeing a whole street of FD3S....

Love it or leave it...FD3S is getting harder to come by and I hope that Mazda will do something about it before all of the North Americans spend their crap money on some project that takes 1 or 2 years to complete....

On my way to finding a 2nd FD.....my plans are to fully modify one while keeping the other stock......


On that note: You guys who do have a car alarm, better go get the Master Lock Steering Wheel lock. (94 and 95 --> grab the air bag lock)

One of my friend's ride was stolen and was shipped out to Europe...lol

Be careful now...it's Summer time...and car thieves are back to working....My advice...don't lose your RX7 this way...

damn...you're lucky. if i had bought an FD, i would have needed to go single to beat this guys Viper GTS before he graduated. damn...then i'd have to get a whole bunch of other **** to beat my friends high-10 second Trans Am.

then i wont be pullin mad ***** because the car would be too loud and have a really, really smelly exhaust.

Yeah!...A Supra's performance is unquestionable but they are so bland looking outside....After almost a decade, I STILL get people asking me what type of car that is and how cool it looks - and its got dents in it.

And most girls don't care about ETs anyways. They want a sexy looking car. For under a $100k and still with performance that's pretty much a FD, Viper and to most girls an NSX. (Sorry Vette owners...they associate that with balding 40 somethings yearning for youth). M3s actually fare well here too with the professional chicks.

As far as looks go I totally agree that its the best bang for the buck... but as far as speed I'd have to say a Z28 would be better as far as the price. I wanted a Z28 until I realized that EVERYONE and their brother have one. That goes for Mustangs too. RX7s are rare and unique and have killer looks and matching performance. That's exactly why I'm looking for one right now.
