The FD has a very curvy, bulging shape like a woman while the FC and SA/FB have more of a porsche 924/928/944 sharp front with curved back look; a shark or other ocean going predator comes to mind.
I have never liked the look of the FD even though it is beautiful. The FC was my dream car growing up and seeing one with that RE front is spectacular. I dream of modding my front with a homebuilt set of RE copies . . .
As for FD3Boost's challenge . . . this might be heresy here (it would be at RX7club) but a base mdl. FC properly done with an supercharged LS-1 would be formidable to say the least . . . ie. 11 to 10 second range (it has been done a few times - check out torquecentral.com).

I mean in the same respect I could say give me a 3 rotor Banzi from Pettit and then your supercharged LS1 isnt doing ****.
I'll be on a track soon to back up what I have been telling you all along. I am going to throw down an 11 second run on stock twins.
Ask AVAN he got a ride in my car the other day.

I see. So this is basically a pissing match to you and the rules of this match are changeable by you at any moment . . .

i was offline for about a week, i shouldn't have come back to this thread cuz it put me in a foul mood. I refuse to argue online, but i am a little upset about what was said about my car. My car was very much taken apart and while sorting out the mechanics ie tuning I managed to throw it together enough to make it to the bbq just to meet some of the local enthusiasts. What i didn't expect was that it was going to be a fashion show and that i would be judged based on how clean my car was at the time. I see how things are now though. i had fun at the bbq but i don't think i'll waste my time going to another one. I can be the judge of my own car perfectly fine from the comfort of my own home.
