Used to give me all this crap about how the FD was a copy of the C5, but it will never be a vette... Imagine my surprise, finding out that the 7 yr old chassis (1989-1990) was designed/copied after the C5(1996)! My bad!
But you have to admit... An RX7 that is 12+ yrs old it still hangs with a lot of the newer, more advanced ones... Stock vs a lot of the "fast" cars today and it still does pretty damn good. Throw a few parts on... different story altogether.
I severely hope that by the time I start to come back over to the states a new 7 will be coming out. Ive got till Nov 2007...

Maybe I don't know enough about V8s, I would have thought that aerodynamics and hp to weight ratio plays more of a factor than how many cylinders you have. I'll tell my Supra buddies they need to do V10 swaps.

I was having a little fun with the guy and he took it like a man, not started crying. Some of the others though..
I feel sorry for the c6 owner. He thought after paying 50 grand, his vette off the showroom floor, would be the king of the hill on the street.
I would've been sick to my stomack seeing the FD tail lights, even at 160mph.

personally i dont feel sorry for the C6 owner.. if i owned a c6 i would be happy.. thats a 50k car... so he got be by a modified FD... so what... i would just send the C6 to LPE for some "upgrades" and setup a race with that FD again
btw.. I used to own an FD currently looking for a z06

Hey someone please post some pics of 12+ year old vettes! lol
I get on a few forums including NSX, Miata and Supra but nothing compares to the un aging design of the FD even after over 12 years. I cant imagine what it must of been like over 12 years ago. What else was there? Must of sucked.

Why would you want to race a bolt-on FD LOL? If memory serves me from SF, dont you have a turbo C5?

^^Accidentally posted on my brother's name =)
If that's true, cool. But it sure doesn't seem like that from the original post and those following. Sounds a little contrived...but whatever....
BTW your C5 is beautiful (if that's yours).

Look at car prices in 1993 not in perspective of what you can get one for now.
Mazda RX7~ $32000 in 1993. In todays dollars you are way over the msrp of the new vette.
