What drew you to the fd
What drew you to the fd? For me it was its amazing cornering. My friend and I have a really twisty back road that we race on, and i had a 88 4cyl mustang that turned really good. He got tired of losing so he found a AE86 Corolla. So i got the fd and have loved it ever sence.
|
for me it was the shape of the body
|
it does have a really sexy body. lol i think that the doors are my fav
|
For me, it was a few things.
One was that it was something different. The design of the car and the rotary. I like alternative stuff from the norm. So it fit right in. Another was how rare it is. Up until i got mine, i had never actually seen one in person. So that kinda attracted me as well. |
I started with an S4 with phone dials, then bought a 91 coupe, then I lucked into an FD...It's been a love/hate thing ever since.
The looks and cornering are what sold me ( lol, about 10 years before I could afford one). |

Ya they are rare over here there is one more around here but thats it

Pictures never did the FD any justice. You have to see an FD in real life in order to appreciate it to it's fullest. I love the Rotary engine and the handling is perfect too. Also, the doors are also very nice. Also, a lot of girls with mustangs and RX-8s always would much rather ride with me than their own car or any other guy with an EVO or SRT-4.
|
LOL the guys with srt-4s are suck dicks and think that there car is unbeatable. it makes laugh see the look on there face when they lose
|
In the end it's still a neon and FWD
|
A number of things attracted me to the FD
The main thing is the looks. There are heaps of production cars out there that are reasonably powerful/fast but none of them do it with the looks and style that the FD does. Also the fact that the FD can roll with and beat pretty much whatever you throw at it (within a reasonable price range). Old guys in their Porchas etc think twice about racing you as they dont want to loose in their 50k+ car! with their hot girlfriend with them to some young guy whos car sounds like a helecoptor lol The basics of it are super sexy styling and a wicked power to weight ratio..it dosent matter how much hp youv got if your heavy! we aint heavy =) |
besides the fact that vin deisel drove this car in that cool movie i got my shell for FREE.99!!!!! + driving it and looking at it is equally as fun. =)
|
my neighbors 93 r1 yellow mica. i already owned my 91turbo w/ 67k org. miles,but never saw a 3rd gen in person. it looked tooo mita to me till... long story short i own that rare yellow mica car. n my neighbor missses it dearly
|
The cars body and shape are unmatched and the rotary engine.
|
The body and the cockpit type interior. It just seems to flow!

everything ( body, engine..)
|
the looks, the rarity, the power = PURE SEX =)
|
The competition is FAR heavier, and the FD has a fantastic suspension.

Back on topic... Looks - After 15 years it still looks amazing to this day, that's a testament to it's design. It really is timeless. Performance - The car is 15yrs old and is still right up there. |
I first 'saw' one when I was like 11 in Gran Turismo 3 A-spec.. and I wanted one ever since, so when I got some money I ended up getting one, and I couldn't be happier

I have a better question...what would turn you away from the RX-7? NOTHING! (well, maybe the money pit thing, but isnt that any car, really?)
Looks...the curves on the RX-7 just scream sexy...is there any car on the road with looks like this? even after 15 years, my R1 still looks amazing, sitting in my driveway, blown motor and all... Performance...ive owned almost all types of RX-7 (only the Turbo II and GSL-SE got away from me..damn) and they all handle magnificently, but when i drove my cousins R2( which happened to be the first time i seen one in person) i melted in the cloth seats...like haveing sex for the first time over and over...the handling is outstanding, and when i took my buddy for a drive in it (he owns a 2003 Cobra) he couldnt believe how quick it was... attention/rarity...every where i drove, i always get az thinbs up, it so beautiful. and the fact that its always fun to play "what kind of car is that?" with people...hilarious. some said its a ferrari, some say its an 'illegal import', i got a parking ticket and the cop wrote "2000 toyota celica?????" (not lying, had no idea, wrote those '?' too! hilarious!) and finally, potential...you can take this car up to any level you want! |
Like most everyone else it was initially the looks of the car that caught my attention. I'm also a glutton for the rare and different. It really is just the total package for me.
