Recca168:
The FD and FC are RX-7s
The yellow one in initial D is the FD
The white one is the FC

Elchfaenger:
afaik the first Mazda rx-7 was the SA 2 (also called Savanna) followed by the FC and finally the FD.
Of course all of them have rotary engines and the later FCs and FDs are turbocharged.

--- Quote ---i will give takumi his credit for adapting to the blind attack and getting close to tomoyuki, but the stone cold fact is still that takumi won by luck because you know takumi would have done the same thing, hell, he may have even crashed, who knows? but im still sticking to the fact that tomoyuki is better than project D, ryosuke is a very brilliant thinker, but he's no longer the "white comet"

takumi SAYS ryosuke is better? TAKUMI SAYS!?!?! takumi is a good racer, NOT a good analyzer i wouldint believe takumi for a second because he still barley knows what he is talking about, he is just a good racer and thats it(well he is a good analyzer ONLY when he races but i still wouldint trust his word when he said that)

lets not forget the incident with kai at Irohasaka and takumis "victory" (pile of leaves anyone?)

Ok, I want to know why you think Ryosuke is no longer the White Comet.  As far as I'm concerned he still is.

Takumi says that Ryosuke is better because Takumi sat in Ryosuke's FC and then Takumi raced.  I think that he would know who was running faster, taking better lines etc.  Even if you think he's a shitty race analyzer, you have to agree that his gut instinct, sense of speed and control are amazing, and I'm sure he could tell since he knew the pace and line Ryosuke showed him and then he actually went out there and did it.

Also, Takumi not being a good analyzer is the Takumi of the first few stages, who didn't know he drove an 86, didn't know what a Skyline, FD, or FC was.  The episode right after he races Tomoyuki shows him call exactly when Iketani would be passed he analyzes the whole thing while racing down the mountain in the most POS car in the series.  Also, right before that they talk about how much he's changed because he picks apart the problems in the 85, sure he admits he didn't do as good a job as the Project D guys, but you have to admit that its a lot better than anyone in that scene could do.

Sure he can't analyze like Ryosuke, but Ryosuke's analysis skills literally are inhuman (recall earlier stages where on a mountain top he will watch&listen to the cars, and hear idiots babble on cell phones and piece the race together).

And Irohasaka with the MR2, the kid did something ridiculuous...he freakin jumped the car.  The fact that Takumi figured how how to do it IN the race, shows who was better, the finish didn't matter, Kai realized he was screwed when Takumi started doin the jump BETTER than he did. (If you don't believe me go back and watch the race, Takumi cuts it as close to the rail as possible)  So, sure he got lucky with the win, but if he wasn't as amazing as he is he wouldn't even have had a chance at luck, (does that make sense?).

On one hand I hate that your comments make me think so much about a damned cartoon, but on the other hand it gives me something interesting to do while I sit on my ass and wait for my new motor to show up...

Keep it comin, this is fun :)

please keep in mind in no way am I personally attackin you or nothin

--- Quote ---can someone please tell me what fd and fc mean...i've searched for it and cant find an answer anywhere

FC represents only the Second Generation Mazda RX-7 being that the letters "FC" are only found in the 1986-1991 RX-7s VIN Number. FD represents only the Third Generation Mazda RX-7 being that the letters "FD" are only found in the 1993+ RX-7s VIN Number. Rotaries really kick ass IMHO.
