My car has been confused with a probe at least 3 times, was wondering if anyone else has had their car confused with a different car, and if so, what car?















Bored at work and curious about this. thanks. lol

Porsche 944

Never confused, just "what is that?"; 7s are super rare up here..

I just get tired of the guy's with their civic yelling at me to get my "POS Probe off the road", and then get pissed when I blow them out the water with my Stock N/A

Some kid came up to me a few days ago and said "damn that's a nice car I didn't know you can make dodge daytonas that fast". https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683607.gif

Gotta love the honda schooling by an FC na.



Sometimes mine would get confused with a Porsche 928 or 944.

I wouldn't feel quite as bad if they would have confused it with a Porsche, but damn, a Ford Probe.

944 often, once someone said it looks like a dodge daytona.

Ive only confused them with dodge daytonas....I sometimes confuse the verts for a 240sx vert https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

the similarities start and end between the daytona and FC at the B pillar IMO.

the first thing i ever got was a porsche, then a ford probe. that was mainly my POS '86 NA.



as for my turbo, it's never gotten mistaken for anything. only admiration and respect. i love it. i've never gotten a bad comment about my TII, or an insulting comparison. with the spoiler and hook scoop, it's obviously not a ford probe. the the "turboII" on the side makes it distinct.



I LOVE MY TII https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

ive had the porsche comment too, when some guy asked why i'd put that hood on a porsche i said it made me shift mad quick and proceeded to the mobilmart lol.



kevin.

It gets mistaken for a babe magnet

no sorry that one is not a mistake!

alot of people mistake my Mazda for the old 944 as well, i can understand why, they have a pretty close resemblance (sp?) We all know one thing the N/A rotary vs the pre 85 944 is no contest. I'm not to sure about the 951 (944 turbo) vs our T2. From what i understand the 951 pushed closer to 250 hp.



Bah, oh well, overrated sports cars, who needs em' i'll drive my lowerpriced, better modeled, better bang for yer' buck rx-7 anyday..

"I almost got a 951 about a year ago, debated over my engine rebuild or a down payment on one. Obviously i kept the rotary =)" Fuggin CHEERS!

Same here except no wing and no "TURBO II" sticker on the sides. When rice sees you going down the road, they just look over at me and wanna race. It happened to me tonight. Just cruising along and all of a sudden, a little neon r/t is beside me. He revs his motor up and takes off. **** it, I'll play. Slam it in 3rd and floor it. I flew by him and then pulled in to a Sheetz. He followed me, got out of his car and came over to the pump I was at and said "Wow, thats a fast car man. What the hell is it???" We started talking about it, blah blah blah. I am very surprised that alot of people don't know that some cars were turbocharged from the factory. I have heard that too many times.

same here its only a hand full round my part

Guys when you see another 7 do you give the honerary "wave" or "thumbs up" out the window? I do, and i almost always get it back.. Makes me feel warm and gushy in my pants.. hurrrm. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

"Alittle off topic, but" Fuggin' CHEERS!

I do, honk sometimes too. Sometimes i get it back, others people just stare and drive by....



I also get "are you going to put a turbo in that thing??!? (3rd gen), i hear thoes turbo's are fast!"



lol

Yeah, I do this all the time. The one day a few months ago during the summer, I was in the TII and a champagne gold S4 N/A drives by and its some older guy with grey hair. I wave to him all excidedly, like a little kid, and he waves back in just the same manner. A few months later, as I start my first semester at the Auto Tech program at the local community college, I see a little champagne gold S4 N/A parked in the parking lot. I walk into my class and the teacher was some older guy with grey hair and we were like, "Wait a sec... I've seen you before!" https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

yea i was driving and saw a guy in a 10th AE.. and honked and waved and he waved back and did a uy and the next thing i know hes right behind me and i pull into a parking lot and we talk for like an hour about his rebuild and ****... it was cool... i got his number he actualy lives right up the street from me... and is usualy always on rx7club.com

Same here..many times..not a bad car to be associated with I guess...

um my car has been called a honda rx7 before thus the aim screen name of mazdanothonda

A girl said to my once "That's a cute prelude." Some dude yelled "Your Honda sucks!" the other night. I've also been told to get a "real" RX-7. My car has both Mazda and RX-7 badges. Some people are just dumb.

There are no RX-7's where I from, well my good friend has an FB and I have only seen one other FC like mine, and one FD. People think its a 1st gen 240sx, Daytona, probe, 944. The best was the guy that asked me if it was a 5.0 Mustang. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

i've had people confuse it w/ a dodge shadow and a supra

i told a kid it was a honda S

when i first got my fc i went over to my friend justins house and he was like damn dood when did you get a probe. i just shook my head in dissapointment and patted him on the shoulder.

yeah I've been told it looks like a daytona too :mad:

and we acctually have to try and explain how our engine's work to these people.. for gods sake... spare me. Everytime someone asks me what's in it i say rotary, their immidiate response is ALWAYS... is it a : (insert 4cyl/6cyl here)



Than i give them a brief lesson on how the engine works, and of course the ending comment from them : Yeah but, it has spark plugs.. it's a 4banger. :



WTF! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

"Do you guys get this too sometimes" CHEERS!

Explaining sucks, I just give them a link to a site. Weird, I thought waving was a Corvette thing only. Some dude mistook a 3rd Gen Camaro with a FC once.

yea right, Jeep is the official waving brand. When i drove my jeep i learned there's a whole system to it, search for "jeep wave" on google, you should find the correct illustration and documentation, there's a whole point system as to who intitiates it and such.



most of it is a joke though and genberally you wind up waving at the same time, it freaked out everyone who ever borrowed my jeep.



kevin.

bikers do it. but not to scooters :lame:

The explaining thing gets annoying. I tell people what it is and make hand gestures to draw a picture of what a rotary looks like. Then they ask, "is it better." My response is, "it depends on how you use it." most people just don't know jack about cars.

After a nice neat drift through a parking lot...showing off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



"Is that an old Porsche?"

"No, it's a Mazda RX-7"

"Damnnnnnnn...a Mazda?"

mine gets confused with hummer...dont ask why

when i was in high school a few years back, my 10th AE used to get mistaken for a camaro https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

A god damn S13 all the time!

my car has gotten confused for a Tasmin 208i (TVR) with the top up or down



"nice TVR man"



it also get confused for a dolomite, they look the same you knowhttp://www.triumphdolomite.co.uk/tri.../dolomite2.jpg

Usually an MR2 because of the bumper which I can see, OR a Supra which I don't see, probably the 86-92 model.....here is the best one... A Lotus Esprit. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png OMG!



You be the judge.....and be nice!
