If you were to sell your FD...

It Just Feels Right
My FD is worth less than 15k. What car could I buy in that price range that could compare? Nothing comes close. If I sold the FD for a down payment, it would still be hard to find a replacement. Not that I don't think about it every F'n day. A list of potential candidates?
G35 coupe with the intention of adding a turbo. S2k a distant maybe. An ugly *** Evo RS...you have to admit it would be fun. A lotus Elise? Might as well keep the 7. Lately I'm thinking the 2008 TT would be sweet, but my semisignificant other would have a **** fit if I spent that much on a "car." From a technical standpoint a Boxster S would suit me fine, but I'm not in love with the UFO body. Anyone have anything better? Convince me.

No it's not Turbo'd
In this order, but I'd keep the FD... too much Money and Blood sweat and definitely tears in it... to sell for less than what I have in it... $50+K
1) Ferarri 308 GTB ($25-35K)
2) TVR Sagaris ($70-90k)
3) 90's Viper ($30-50k)
4) Ariel Atom ($35-45k)
5) Lotus Exiege ($35-40k)
Prices are roughly what they can be had for...

I don't ever plan to sell my FD. Too much time, blood, sweat, money, and fond memories

^ Word.
And what I would buy,depends. Over here, Id get an EVO I/II/III, Pulsar GTiR, autozam AZ-1, GT-R, or a really nice S13 silvia. I realize that all of these cars but the GTR are in totally diffrent classes, and do not stack up to my car in almost any way, but theyre all about in the same price range, and Id like to experiance something new. When I get back to the states, its gonna be MS3, EVO 9, M3, or a nice FB.

Oh and I would never sell my FD, much too unique of a car.

Anything less (Supra, SL 65 AMG, etc) is nothing more than a fancy daily driver

There were a couple of times i got to bring a G coupe home and people think you're a star when you're in one. Im like damn its only a 40 thousand dollar car, im not driving a ferrari lol
The other day while driving to school and I stopped at a light behind a G35. I said to friend "ah the G35.. I always liked that car. I wouldn't mind having one."
But then I looked over to the next lane and saw another one and then one in front of that one. Then said aloud "See that's why I'm glad I own an FD. Because I don't have to worry about everyone and their grandma driving it."

For those not in the "Know" this is a Sagaris:
I like the Big Chromed side exhausts... I don't know if the other CF version is a "upgrade" uption or a aftermarket add-on...
