I'll take the F40, but just to make sure that it's a good choice, I'll need some time with each car-- say a week or two

I actually think I'd take the porsche. I always found the F40 to be kind of an ugly car.

What's remarkable is how well that 1989 design still looks. It doesn't miss a beat. Hats off to Mr. Chin.

I'd take the FD. I've been infatuated with this car since the beginning. Plus I think it is still the better car in terms of driver's ergonomics. The shifter and pedals on Porsches have always been out of place for me. Then again, I've never been in an F40...

F40... unless I had to actually pay for the car. Then, the FD is a no brainer...

Get the F40, if you don't like it, you can always sell it and buy multiple copies of the other two. Imagine, $400,000 worth of FD's Thats like 10 modded FD's. Yeah, I'd do that.

the cool thing about it is its displacement compares to our FDs, 2.7 liters! depending how you consider your car (1.3 or 2.6) either way, it is a small engine!

as much as I like FDs, that silver one looks completely out of place in such exotic company

looks like a Miata with some sharks swimming around, waiting to engulf it and spit it out the exhaust pipe

I'll take the GT2, sell it, use the money to put a 20B in the FD with a HKS 6 speed tranny.
