Yep..alot of discussion on the Drive network.

FD hands down. Even if they think their "hero" car is the NSX.

Thanks!

These guys need to do a little more show and a little less tell. There aren't enough good FD videos out there. Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport don't count.

A little chatty but occasionally they make good points and agree with most of what they said. Had a little trouble getting past the haircut on the guy in the back seat. We call it the wife-beater at work.

Got two out of three...will probably have an R32 GT-R in the next several years. Has always been my trifecta.

Just bought a couple of FDs from a dude in NJ who is a true car guy and loves all kinds of cars. He's owned vipers, corvettes, currently has a modena etc.... and what's his favorite car the MR2.

I test drove one a LONG time ago and went with a 300zx instead. The MR2 just didn't have the power and speaking of the 300zx it really shouldn't be left out of the conversation it's also a pretty cool car.

I disliked this show . I dont think they really understood WHY the FD belonged there . Or understood much about the engine " seals break because they are triangles "

and they used the same Wikapedia FD picture ... no driving nothing they blew more steam up the bronco then really went into saying WHY the FD was any good . apart from it looks good , its got triangles that blow up . and its just not as good as a skyline or NSX . so only buy one if you cant afford one of those .

Any and all credebility that these guys had in my mind went out the window .

I agree completely.

They should track a good FD and that back marker miata won't even be mentioned. Seriously those boyz crack me up and rarely make any damn sense but props for having the FD on their show which means they aren't completely clueless.

PS I do love that bronco
