Another custom the people of this forum (and any car guy in general) is to refer a particular car by its chassis number or code name.
For example if you say Z-car or Fairlady, you don't know which generation of the Z, you are talking about, but if you say Z32, it's about 4th gen Z (1989-2000?)
You see R32, R33, R34, and these are Nissan Skyline GT-R
SA, FC and FD are Mazda RX-7
The Honda/Acura ITR, which Revell makes is DC3 (?) and the most current one, Fujimi has is DC5.
Something like that.
Are these on FAQ? I'd better go check.
