damn your fd was really nice, but congrats on the new car but you have to agree that you FD looking nicer than the Vette ... maybe its just question of taste, but the fd is difficult to beat.

Regarding power, 400 rwhp V8 power is much different than 400 rwhp Single Turbo Rotary power. I'm not making that much power now (prob about 360 rwhp), but regardless I can modulate the throttle and control how much power to produce. My experience with my FD was that it was pretty much a toggle switch. Maybe it's all in the tuning, but I'm sure it would never be as smooth as it is with the Vette.
It all depends on what you're looking for. I wanted something more streetable and new that has the potential to make a lot more power reliably and on pump gas.
