The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

[PranK]

Its a fact.

On appearances alone, the FD takes the cake. It has aged better than all the other JDM master pieces of this era and is still absolutely gorgeous.

I include the 2000 model year also which is the crème de la crème of the FD.

Followed closely by the R32 GTR.

Convince me otherwise. ☠️

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Yes 

[soviet_merlin]

No discussion there.

[choyda]

Agreed

[GTSBoy]

Obvious thread is obvious.

[silviaz]

I think the good thing with the rx7 is that it doesn't need any mods to look good, and minimal mods like wheels and lowering makes a ton of difference.

[Ozdavroz]

Agreed.

When I was looking at imports 20 years ago I noticed some FDs were about same price as R32s (IE a few grand at auction)but they weren't eligible due to whatever bullshit rules they had about parallel imports or whatever. 

Now all the jap boomers know what they got....

NSX.

Nobody can really argue any other and not be ridiculed.
Come on. Get serious.

I vote the R Chassis as the most 'distinctive' or 'iconic' or what have you.

Nah. I've always thought the tail of the NSX was too long. I mean....it's not a bad looking thing, but it is very bland by comparison to the things it was supposed to take down (Italian supercars), and... it sounds like a V6. And not an ALFA V6 either. A Japanese V6.

[Kinkstaah]

It looks superior to any 90's JDM car.

It is the king of any event, or parking lot, or track day with people that see them in person. You may not like it, but this is the absolute truth any time a NSX shows up anywhere where people's physical eyeballs are at. I've seen rows of people standing in front of R34 GTR's and FD's stop conversation and turn and look at a NSX in envy multiple times.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

RX7 is better for audio set ups, as you can really hide the subwoofers and also make them sound great with superpositioning strategies.

Not to mention, it's a family car. You can take your kids in it (although I wouldn't).

NSX is meh.

[GTSBoy]

I'd drool over a HG Kingswood before I'd drool over an NSX.

FD absolutely the bets looking.

R32 GTR vs A80 Supra fighting for 2nd place, although GTR looks the goods with no mods and an A80 needs at least wheels, lowering, and the right colour to look the best. GTR looks good on stock wheels and in any factory colour.

[32.det]

Agreed, something iconic about the curves in all the right places

Only non pop-up NSX and that didn't happen till the 2000s so your point is moot.

The FD just looks like a run of the mill MX5.

A nice car, yes. Pretty girly looking. Struggles to be in the top 10.

[GTSBoy]

You're a bit weird Greg.

[Ozdavroz]

FD RX7 I would probably marry if legal

R32 GTR is toughest

NSX looks like it's made from leftover Prelude and Accord bits

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Well it does have a motor with the same DNA as an Accord V6 motor.

The J30A is a successor to the Tiger rice cooker C32A motor found in those cars.

[niZmO_Man]

S15 Silvia looks nice.
