Why post pics - Mazda has officially admitted the Porsche 944 was a target mule for the FC3S.

Lol, oh man! I would rather see the pics you have of a 928 that looks like an FC! IMHO, they look totally different. At least, WAY more different than an FC and a 944 do.

In retrospect the 944 would be the cars rival but in reality the arch rival of any car is the driver. The driver makes the car go, stop, and perform how its suposed to. If they are a bad driver then every car is their rival b/c they can't compete with the driving. Just my opinion.
I say the arch rival is the driver.

Supras are boats. They have no place being compared to an RX-7

But here state side, the 240 is nowhere near the FC, even in N/A.
Dude, the later style 240s are a healthy half a second faster in the quarter than NA FC's (even with the truck engine we get here stateside).
