My old roommate has a corvette from that era. My FD was definitely faster, and it definitely requires much less work/repairs than that corvette does. Good lord that thing is always broken (and was on its 2nd engine at 100k).

Thanks for posting all that, Section8. I've got a technical paper on the R26B, the 4-rotor engine used in the Lemans-winning 787B racecar. PM me with your email and I can send you the file, it's a MS Word .doc file.

(oh and to people wondering why I'm posting here, you're cars are way sexier I thought I'd see what you guys talk about some)

that really doesn't explain how myself a "good" driver can pull off a quarter mile time seven tenths faster than a professional driver. like others have said i think its a harder car to launch than the vette.

Got some articles from Magazines around '92 featuring FD's.
Couple of group tests, and a long term test.
Would anyone be interested?
