I love FD's. New cars blow. End of Story.
I've been reading these forums for two years and i've yearned for this car for way too long. And no matter what 500 hp egg shaped cars appear out of manufactures' asses, the FD will always be my favorite car. Why ? ****, I don't even know myself. I don't even own one. But I feel the soul. Just something I can't explain; when I get in and drive its just amazing.
Anyhoo, a random blip from me that I've been meaning to get out. Holla if you feel me.

I have to agree even without Z06 version the new vettes rock!
Besides some of these new age rockets, the 4 door kind handle nearly as well run and run in the 12's. Hell the SRT Magnum runs in the 11's how humiliating would that be...

Then another 10 years will go by and people will drool all over again like they are for 70s' vettes and Chargers.

Don't worry Dave. That only happened to the guys that got stuck in the 80's. Besides, the FD was so far ahead of it's time styling-wise, that it will take a long time to catch up. Here's a good way to tell. Sell, your RX-7 and about six months later - 2 years later when you see one on the road, let me know what thought passes through your mind.

i'de say so, only nice things are the rims and the power for a NA car. Corrvette's and mustangs and all the jazz is becomeing the common day ***** for sports cars. you look at almost every corrvette other than the first gnes they all look so freaking similar to me whats the point of owning one? same with Vipers, they all look the same, only slight differences. and the new mustang? wow really nice "Retro" style tobad the cheap price means every person with $5000 in their pocket can get one on finaceing, good looking car, but too many people own them, to many people with no life trying to look cool, ya i'de drive anyof them, but i'de rather be seen driving a RX-7 FD 3S then those other peices of machinery, but thats me and my 2 45/64 cents about the whole thing.

sorry man, but that is just not true. Good try though. It is still a small block. The displacement doesnt really have much to do with the size of the block itself other then the obvious that bigger BLOCKS can have larger sized cylinders and more displacement.

It relates to external dimensions of the block only, nothing to do with cylinder dimensions.

what I mean is yes of course the block is bigger but they're bigger in order to accomodate huge heads....and therefore do have more displacement because like the guy stated above a bigger block is naturally going to have more room for bigger pistons....

hell yeah brother, i feel exactly the same way, i've been reading on these forums for a little over a year... maybe more and i feel EXACTLY the same. Everything about the FD is beautiful, and i don't think they'll ever age. They will always be rare, beautiful, and unique.
For those who rice them out, yeah it sucks... but it just makes the ones who don't look that much better.
One day i will hope to own one.... probably after i get out of college. They'll be vintage by than
<3 the FD

My understanding of the difference between "big" blocks and "small" blocks is the distance between bore centers. Since the overall dimensions of the Chevy "small" block have been unchanged since it's introduction back in the 50's as a 327, the size of the block or the size of the cylinder heads can't have much to do with the designation "big" or "small".
