OK I just wanted to get a feel for what the community likes.. there are so MANY different reasons why one series is better then the other etc.. however instead of just asking "which rx7 do u like best" lets get a bit more detailed and really find out WHY.. then give your best.

PROS:
I love these cars, they are light, VERY SPORTY, backward hood FTW!!
and a good tuned 12a in a FB will be faster in a dead out run with an FC day in and day out.
CONS:
they suspension was nice, but laxcked alot (which they fixed in the next gens)
Carb... I HATE CARBS
Rotor housings.. this was before they got GOOD at making rotor housings.. the housings had the o-rings embeded in the housing instead of the irons. they ALWAYS look BAD when they are torn down and they chome flaking is horrible.
FC (S4 86-88)

Pros:
Very nice nible car, handles FANTASTIC, a bit sportier then the FB, fuel injection was a great thing and some models had LSD
Cons:
S4 secondary ports were bad, then tend to stick or not function at all
catalictic convertors... seriously they dont need SIX
the square tails looked out of date IMO
HEAVY
plastic breaking dash components
we dont need stock adjustable suspension
FC (S5 89-92)

Pros:
same nimble car as the S4, still handles great, UPDATED TAILS FTW, updated mirors, updated front and rear bumpers, updated interior, updated rubber radio surround, VDC IS A GOOD THING
better stock spoiler
Cons:
Heavy
S5 OMP is a nightmare
stock adjustable suspension was not needed
I dont like the body color trim
FD:

Pros:
they took styling to the nest level with this car, the interior design was great, the exterior is awsome, TWIN TURBOS!!! WOOT, all the different handling packages and interior choices, better housings
cons:
Twin turbos... great idea but boy those motors hated it
cheesey platic breaking trim pieces
HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY
body roll
cooling IMO was not up to par
so I hate them as follows
1 = horrible 10 = best ever
FB: 6
S4 FC: 7
S5 FC: 8
FD: 9
IMO if you want a GREAT FX7 go with an FC.. save the money and dont go FD
If you got the money go FD (but buy a car with 50K or less if possible)
if you want a track car.. go FB add some suspension upgrades, crazy carb or try and find an 85' GSL-SE
so whats your opinion
