I think the fd interior looks pretty good. The others look way dated.

+1. The RX-7 could come out today and its interior and exterior would look current. Mazda did a great job of making it look timeless with its no-nonsense styling.

god damn F40 is insanely impressive. 3.1 0-60 in a car with totally outdated tires, and it looked so damn fast in that video going through corners.

it would be really effing awesome if Top Gear did a special comparing supercars of the past to the ones of today. and to make it fair get all the cars running on the same tires (just in stock sizing) and then we can see if we really came anywhere in the last 20 years...would love to see cars like an F40 or 959 going head to head with the GT-R, F430, GT3, Zonda whatever.

TopGear did test the 300zx against the 350z.

Ferrari F40

No better car has been made by Ferrari since. The F50 and F60 (Enzo) have been downgrades. No better car ever made as far as I'm concerned. Love it.

Agree with you on the F40, but the F60 != Enzo.

This is the F60:
