a feel as if i am going out of my mind. i posted earlier about soon buying my dream car, and fd but now i am having somewhat second thoughts. i am only 17 but i have a great job with barely any payments to make so i can make quite good money right now. i want a rx7 pretty bad but i would want to put down like 5k to buy one. but i have also been seeing another car, a vw gti vr6. it is a hatch for those who dont know. and it is pretty damn fast. 200hp/200torque. but the fd is 155hp/200torque(torque correct?) so i need you guys to instill the rx7s greatness in my mind again, because i need a new car because the sol just isnt cutting it. i would be able to get the vr6 sooner too ebcause it is naturally cheaper than an rx7.
oh, answer rotary gods....

and BTW here is an "unbiased" opinion. notice my screen name???
Before I bought my FD I had a vr6 corrado, which is still nicer than the newest vr6 gti. Anyway. The VR6 positives: a monster torque plowerplant! A very responsive engine. Fun to drive, lots of power.
The VR6 negatives: expensive to get into the high hp#'s(350+), exhaust is in the rear of the motor(PIA for a good turbo setup), engine runs high temps(230F).
Now the FD, well she speaks for herself: beauty,power,style. What else can I say. You will **** on any stock or mildly modifies VR6 with a bone stock FD!

Holy crap son, for your own dignity take the FD, and never let another vehicle unless it be a crazy exotic, or at least a TT Supra take away your passion for the FD. And remember: FD's stock = 255 hp!!

Between those two, definitely the FD. I have a Jetta 1.8t, and they practically walk the 24v VR6's stock, just due to the gearing. Also, the 1.8T cars are slightly lighter also, but def. the FD over a VR6.
