FC=Old School

i dont think the fc is OS at all. IMO, there should have to have been a model of the same car with the same chassis with metal bumpers to be OS.

:D are we serious the FC is OS my 87 is over 21 years old an it drinks gas an smokes oil that is olskool:D

If an FC is old school my Miata is old school.

So for me, in my opinion my gxl is an OS ride just because the fc plataform is overlooked and people dont understand the potential of them in both styling and performance, but dats how i see it, but what do i know..

GSL-SE = prototype for the FC, but still it's in the good 'ole primitive live-axle unrefined late 70 sport chassis. I understand this is contorversial, but one of the reasons the first gen group I run with like the first gens and other old school cars is the sacrafices and effort one puts fourth into keeping them running. not saying an old school car has to suck, be hard to drive, and annoying, but it adds to the respect that you still see it on the road. I don't know it's hard to say, but I think the Fc made it into the group of cars where things all of a sudden just got "easier".

and as for one year making a difference, I was trying to say the FC is still lumped with a whole 'nother era of cars. That's why I lumped "feel" into the assessment of classification. It really is a toss up with your definition of "old school".

to me a FC being oldschool would be like a C4 vette being oldschool,its still to soon.
