After checking the RE-Extreme blog I came across this picture. I have seen this same FD numerous times before on pictures when it was going through its paces on Tsukuba, even Mike has captured this car before. I never realized that it was a street legal car. That in itself makes this car even cooler than it already was.

Can you imagine driving a car like this to and from Tsukuba on any given Sunday and compete in a Time Attack event? The thought alone...

My God... I can't believe how nice this 16 year old design still looks.  I'll always been a fan of the FD.

I agree this FD is simply amazing... But don't you guys see the yellow and the silver are pretty much the same cars on the exterior... They have all the same RE mods... Just different colors...

That silver FD is the one that was at the HPI event where Mike shot that perfect exhaust flame pic for the January calender I believe.

The design is 20 years old.  The FD saw original Japanese release in 1991, plus you know, concept & development then shifting to production.
