I voted for the FD, hands down one of the best cars ever produced. The Z came in a close second, but the FD just has a way higher unique factor, it being a rotary and all.

I went with the FD as well. Not only is it simply a sick, insanely beautiful, amazing performer, and extremely well designed sports car.... but Mazda has been in my heart since I first started driving. I love nissans obviously, but I feel that Mazda has more soul. I've owned three Mazdas, a Ford, a Toyota and a nissan. Overall, the Mazdas were my favorite.

Hence my avatar paradox.

I also like the TVR 500. It has a 5.0ltr V8 and weighs approximately as much as a miata. I think it's an underrated performer.

I went with 300Z TT but the FD was a close second (would have taken first but the rotary engine is to picky)

I voted for the FD. When reliability is not a factor, they are an amazing, capable car that is simply gorgeous to look at. And even though Mazda is all Ford-i-fied now, they still catch your eye and make you say: 'that's a good looking car.' Even freakin Proteges are fun to drive, I really like the new 3, it looks like one of the best 4 cyl commuters out there.

The Sti was a close 2nd to me, i love the idea of having a car you can drive year-round because in the northeast region that's a major plus. Plus i used to be a hard-core Suby fan in highschool and watched WRC races late at night.

Sky, you're awesome My opinions are basically the same, except I liked the EVO's when watching WRC. Tommi Makinen rocked, and the EVO's were great from the 4-6, but I don't like the style on the 7's and 8's as much. As for this poll, FD is #1, Sti is definately #2. I'll be graduating from college this year the a new Sti may be in line if I get a good job

I may be all about the Scoobies, but I definitely acknowledge the Evo's prowess, they are awesome performers (more like arch-enemies). I just dislike Mitsu's build quality, but then again i don't know how Evo's just hold up in the reliability department. I always thought the Evo 6 as being the sexiest of them all.

If i get a good job when i'm out of college, i plan to get a Suby as a daily, a plain ol' 2.5 RS or WRX is enough for me.

I love the rx7 twin turbo and think it is one of the best looking cars ever made but there is just something about the s2k

I wouldn't vote for the RX-7 on account of its unreliablility. I would prefer to have a car for more than 20k before it blows an apex seal. Out the choices shown I would pick a Supra TT. Insane amounts of power can be had and hte 2jzgtte is almost bullet proof. My personal fav would be the corvette c5.
