I would prefer an FB over an FC if I was going NA. The experience of driving is what the FBs are about, and are just as powerful as the FCs if you have an SE. Its all about preference. Either way you cant go wrong!

Maybe if you told us exactly what you were wanting in a car, we could help you out a little better.

Ive owned a GSL, a GSL-SE, a GXL, and my current TII. In my opinion...the GSL-SE was by far the most tossable, fun to drive car. My TII is a blast due to its all out brute force, but its a handful. The SE was just a fun, easy to drive, no worries little sports car.
If I had to choose again between the SE and the GXL, Id take the GSL-SE any day of the week. In my opinion (and mine only) the FC minus the turbo is no fun when compared to the GSL-SE.

The GSL-SE has nothin on a S5 NA, except for its weight........

My 84 SE was always neck and neck with my neighbors S5 NA (90 GXL)...and was more fun to drive. simple as that.

The best part of my GSL-SE was the fact that I didn't have to deal with all the electrical bullshit FC's have.
Just gutted precats let it run a 10.15 in the 1/8th mile with 155k on everything. (My GXL was a tad faster). I've seen lots of FCs that can't match that no matter what their mods are. Maybe I can drive or something <shrug>

yea
I love the looks of a SE in great condition. If their AC's are good, I might buy one instead of an FC. Or maybe not at all, I keep getting the sense that rx7s are very unreliable with little things in the car. =[

Im sure if I found one that was taken great care of that wouldn't be a problem, but id have to be so careful when I buy.

My first car was a 85 FB. Infact I have never owned a piston car. How many can say that 4 Cars and 7 motorcycles. All Rx-7's or 2 wheelers.
I liked that FB, but I like my second Gen's more.. the manual choke was a pain in the ***, and the inside was just not very stylish. And I think the boddies of the 1st gens look kinda ugly by todays standards.
