When you think of Ford's sport cars you think of their mustang. When you think of Subaru you think of the Impreza. What about Mitsubishi? Mazda? Tell me why the Rx7 is more iconic than the Miata, or vice-versa.

What would you say Ford's most iconic sports car is then?
the rx7 is better in every way. it's a sports car a tier above a miata.
plus it has a rotary which mazda is known for.
miata is more of a meme, but rx7 is more iconic.

This, because the Corvette can't compete.
>>14078622
GT40 isn't a sports car (more like race/super car) and isn't that iconic outside of car enthusiast. (don't get me wrong its highly respected)
Even if you're a casual you know what a mustang is, making it more iconic.
>>14078510
Cobra R's had IRS and newer mustangs are keeping up with M3's.
>>14078461
>Ford's sport cars you think of
Falcon XR6 Turbo
>muh bombproof inline six, RWD, forced induction
The Mustang can fuck off, we're full.
>Mitsubishi
Evo. Which is now out of production too. We planes now?
>Mazda
Miata. Performance-wise the RX-7 rapes the Miata but your average fag doesn't know what a dorito is.
>>14080053
>XR6
>2 ton 6 cylinder car
>>14078510
Pony cars are indeed sports cars.
>>14078461
Honda NSX for sure, the old one
>>14078639
Do you mean to tell me a 60k car is slower than a 150k car?? HOLY SHIT NO WAY, here's your bus money.
Volvo:850R
Saab: 9-3 Viggen
>>14080117
>60k
Stop being stupid
The z07 is 100k
>>14080067
it's 1.7 ton
>>14080117
Where can you buy a Z07 for $60k?
>>14080181
Still heavy. Drop one of those motors into a XP (1050kg) then it'd be good.
>>14078461
>Tell me why the Rx7 is more iconic than the Miata
It's a less feminine affordable sports car with muh rotary power that makes it unique.
>>14080053
>Falcon XR6 turbo
Literally who
>>14080743
Unique != iconic homeboy
>>14080743
>affordable
yeah
ok
>>14078713
IRS and laptimes don't make a ponycar into a sportscar.
>>14080068
No they aren't they may be a hybrid beteern the musclecar and sportscar categories,but they're not a true part of either category.
>>14078556
I'd put my money on the Escort Cosworth.
>>14078461
The Miata is the more well known.
However, the RX7 is the more iconic sportscar. It really is the high water mark of Mazda's capabilities.
>>14078556
Come to think of it, Ford has never really produced a proper, RWD 2 seater sportscar(not ponycar) that I know of. Anyone do?
>>14078614
The Miata was created to be Mazdas normalfag sports car. If it was up to them they would still have a rotary right now. Rotary engine is Mazdas heritage and soul
>>14078627
Dodge Challenger is a muscle car. Mopar never made a true sportscar. Maybe the Chrysler Crossfire, but that's just shit.
Supra and GT-R are GT cars. Better examples would be the S-chassis and the 86 or the Celicas, respectively.
Turbalt SS is nowhere near the sportscar that the Corvette is.
>Mazda
Rx7. Miata is just not more iconic. It is more well known but not more iconic. The Rx7 has so much respect, and has won so many racing championships
>Nissan
Skyline GTR, doesn't matter which one. The 240Z comes close, maybe the S13 too.
>Toyota
Supra
>Mitsubishi
Evo
>Honda
NSX
>>14081247
>RX7
nope

reminder that the Corvette can't compete
>>14081249
Yes.
>>14081273
i cant afford it
>>14081280
You can't afford a Corvette either doesn't mean the Camaro is more iconic
>>14078461
Mazda's icon is the Miata. Sure the RX7 is the better car but the Miata is more of an icon. Most people know what a Miata is, most regular people don't know what an RX7 is or care about a rotary engine.
>>14081280
These are literally cheaper than Miatas
>>14081293
A Civic SI is Hondas icon by the same logic
>>14081298
Not when you factor in maintenance costs. An rx-8 is cheaper to buy than a miata, but the fuel costs will eat you alive.
>>14080117
protip: don't
>>14081247
>>14078627
>supra
>>14081311
95% of Americans could not tell you what an AE86, 2000GT or MR2 is. The Supra everybody knows. It was also Toyotas most expensive, exotic sports car besides the 2000GT which was limited production.
>>14081181
>cosworth
In europe
>>14081301
that comparison doesnt work and seeing as nobody really knows what a type r is civic si is correct
>>14081298
wrong
these are rare as fuck
>>14080068
>NSX
Indisputable.
