HA HA HA!!! You are not going to find a FD for that price, so good luck on your hunt for a FC.

How do you see? Power is going to cost no matter what you put it in. G

IMO, the FC styling is just way dated. FD still looks like a new model just roll out of the assembly plant. But I am not an FC guy, so go figure.

I'm glad you corrected yourself.. No way FDs are over rated.. and $14K for a car that handles the way it does, in no way over rated nor expensive

Ive seen and bought FDs before for 5k. But you better know how to work on them and have more money for upgrades/problems. The stock stuff will probably be shot/worn, it will be a project.

An old saying goes: Pay the piper now or pay him later, but your going to pay him....

For a good FC the range is about $3k
For an FD in good shape they are around $8-12k

Like I said unless you are just silly lucky be prepared to spend more money on a cheap FD to make it reliable.
