Ok, so I didn't put all the RX cars but I did list the more comon ones that you can still find and get parts for. As a daily driver the RX-8 can't be beat. But for me the FD is the car I love.
Unless my life doesn't turn out like I hope I'll have all 3 RX-7 cars one day.

I love the RX-8 but the FD is just so damn cool.

I know. But I like all of them so it's not so easy for me.  To be honest the FD would be the most pain in the a** out of all of them to own.

FB. I like it's simplicity, lightness and clean design much the same way as the 240Z.

Raghavan

FD, then FB, FC, lastly RX-8.

The original of course! Followed by the RX-8. I can't belive the number of votes for the other ones.? :rolleyes:



And BTW, you completely forgot the RX-3

I didn't forget it I just didn't put them in. I even considered putting the pickup truck in but because these cars are hard to find I didn't bother. That and with all the young people on this site I didn't know if they would know what they are anyway! I could have put up a Cosmo too.

The last gen RX7, its just so damn good looking.

I thought about getting one when i was Z shopping.

They are coming down in price, i've seen a few nice stock ones with similar mileage and condition to my z for around 15-18K, i'm sure i'll get one in the future.....someday. :P

FC, because it would be the only one I wouldn't feel bad about putting a 302 in....    :lol:

Onslaught

Unfortunately I think they are going up. First it VERY difficult to find one that's not been made into a Fast and the Furious rice car. And when you do they are going for over $20K. I've been looking hard and the garaged and pampered ones are expensive.

280Z Turbo

The first gen is my favorite, but if I had one the rotary would have to go for a more traditional piston engine.

Onslaught

Not trying to start anything but I wouldn't have a RX car with a piston motor in it.

I don't know, I guess it defeats the purpose, but who cares, the 302 is awesome.

280Z Turbo

Well, the rotary is a very flawed, inefficient design that I just don't care to deal with.

Onslaught

To each their own. Seems like a waist of a good sports car to me.  :devil:

The piston engine was flawed at one time as well.

I'll accept "different" but not flawed.

I really like the FD.  I really do.

I went with the RX8 only because I love the FD but it just can't touch the RX8 for daily driver status and it is much more expensive and harder to find. And the RX8 just looks so good in person.

FD is one of the sexiest cars ever built.

Yeah, it's definately better than the Rustang. :evildude:

Someone up the street once had a green FB RX-7, and it sounded like it came straight from the Jetsons.

Awesome show. Nice car, too. I have no desire for the FD whatsoever; I'd take an FB, FC, RX-8 and finally an FD.

True. Despite the fact that I think the 64-69 & 05+ Mustangs are some of the most beautiful cars on the road, the FD > them both.

i accidentally voted FD, i wanted to vote for the FC.
i'd take the Rx8 over t he FD.

FD, then the RX8.  The RX8 may be the better car, but it's also just a little too tame.
