25. The only thing good about that age is that insurance goes down. After that, it's all downhill...

Agreed. It seems like the time between 16 and 25 was about 50 years. And the time between 25 and 27 was about 2 weeks.

Are there any comparisons of the FR-S vs an FD RX-7?

If not... Consider this a request

FD wins for tiny-ness. At equal ride, the FD is much lower at the roofline.

Any estimates at the difference at the roofline?

The FR-S is listed as 47.4in tall and the FD at 48.4in tall. What am I missing?

The FR-S is lower than the MkI which was officially 49.6in tall and from the overlay, that seems about right. The official numbers for the FR-S don't seem quite accurate though.

I'm glad that the seats will fold down, but it's nice to cram in extra people when you need it.

Anyone done some measurements of the FT-86 engine bay by any chance? Just curious how it compares to S2000.
