How do you look at yours!

[matto]

yes i agree with shaftser i think it is in the name you say you drive a porsche or you say you drive a mazda what would people think? ok one could be an old porsche 928 and the mazda fd rx7 in my opinion the rx7 as a car is a lot better but to the average person a porsche is a porsche. i have worked on many cars like TVRs, porsches etc and i dont think they are as well made as many of the jap cars, an FD  has a perfect 50;50 weight distribution just look how far back the engine is mounted it has alloy double wishbones can the same be said for a 911? i think where the japanese went wrong is that they needed to give it a posh name and better levels of interior would the 911 have been as popular if it were called the VW 911? i see many japanese cars as a blank canvas to build your own supercar, i think they have all the basics covered and when the aftermarket modifies them properly they are amazing but because the dont come out of the factory like this i think they are performance cars and damn good at it they are! some well disagree but thats life just my opinion:wave

Your all wrong
Its a......


Performance Car

:WaveBye

Paul..

BINGO ... A High Performance car is what the rex is.
Super car is ferrari and Lambo etc ... things that cost 150k upwards ! They might not be quicker but have that status.

Supercars are for cnuts.

I love my rex.

She is super as far as I\'m concerned.

I don\'t care what it is I\'ll take it on.............:Thumbs-up

The respect for the RX7 is out there you just have to show them. I look at my FD as a performance car that eats supercars and bikes.:wave

[Iain C]

Pacific Muscle!

Its a proper sports car.

Now my Rex has a  Saggy partner, got to say they\'re totally different, but boy, am i glad i kept my FD!:D

Have to admit if I had to have one or the other, I\'d pick the yellow monster.

Hi Danny,
For sheer exhiliration, the yellow wins, but i still love my FD and will never sell it for peanuts!...so put it on a low yearly mileage insurance, so not expensive.
give it a weekly blast to clear the cobwebs and charge the battery!!:Giggle

Ooo sh*t, here\'s a piston!!:rollin

Some good ideas floating about on what a super car is: Just reading the comments. it does appear most people recon Price is a major factor. Not to say your wrong! But why should price determine what a car is? :xconfused  or not! I thought a family car is your regular 4 door saloon  jobY ( back to the escort type things) Estates, well we know what makes an estate , I hope. you can have sports estates but still an estate. NOW, it gets hard, whats a sports car, 2 seater 2+2 style car which is more a drivers car handling and streamlined. Performenace sports, as above but with performance under the hood.

So what is a super car??:2Rolleyes :2Rolleyes :2Rolleyes  So it must be a car which is a sports car, which also is a performance version, but with a lot more go than normal. And, don\'t forget that price tag! loads U dosh! SO just a thought, if an MGB had an LS1 engine stuffed into it, and someone spent about another 60K on body mods and interior, would it be a super car? It\'s an idea. What about the Pantara De Thomaso, Magic machine, But! tops out at around 145 150MPH 0 to 60 in around 5.5 sec, Now you can buy a nice one for around 29 to 35K. It\'s exotic, Italian 2 seater super car. Now theres many Rex machines out there, which would kill this machine stone cold dead. and they have spent the money to. 25 40K is not that hard to find on a Rex, so why is not a super car. I know it\'s snobb thing. must be, as it don\'t make much sense otherwise. :Thumbsup!

I fitted HKS twin plate clutch, that rendered it undrivable at low speed and only usable on nice open roads, so is mine a hypercar now?

I like the term \'Pure sports car\' as that is essentially what it is. Built from the ground up as a light weight sports car, inspired by the Japanese type zero aircraft in the way they reduced weight.
