See, I have a sense of humor and so do you :)

Ummmm ok, a modded RSX beat a stock Z, what's the big deal?

How do you guys think the RX8 would have done against this RSX? Not trying to start anything, just wondering what you're thoughts were.

Thats another topic for another time. This is a really cool video of a FWD econobox whooping a Z pretty damn bad.

Nice car btw.

Yea, 13.9 for a FWD RSX is incredible. Those are s2k kind of numbers. The Z had a decent effort at 14.27

Funny thing is, the difference between the 2 cars is .3 seconds. Now more than double how badly the Z got "violated" and there you have what the average stock for stock race between a Z and an RX-8 would be. In fact a stock RSX is closer in straightline performance to the RX-8 than the Z is.

I didn't mean to offend you, but what do you think it is?

I think he was refering to the point where the RSX pulls 2 full cars ahead, not the final race time.

If it beat the 350, I am pretty sure it woulda beat a 8 :D

Drag racing are for fast cars. Road racing are for fast drivers.

The more money you spend on your car the faster it will be on the drag strip.

Those Hondata really make RSX go a lot faster!

Just to be fair....here is the same 350z pulling 13.82

Man...that pickup got seriously violated...lol.

Here is what the original poster stated:
maximumsportZ:
its the same exact Z running 13.82, I was there at this event.

If you doubt it....you could always ask him ;). Actually i hope you do question him....it makes the forum more fun.

LOL I didn't even get this from the 350 forums, I got it from clubrsx. I know I love the 350Z forum! You guys are great! its this forum I have learned to hate. Kind of ironic.

Easy everyone. No need to insult anyone else's forum.

I said I hate this forum, not the 350Z forum. Sorry for the confusion.

Haha...this is starting to get entertaining. Although I agree to some extent, for the most part, this forum is pretty nice. THey're just a little bit touchier when people say things about their car. Probably because so many people say mean things that they're just tired of it. I'll admit i've said a harsh word or two, but not nearly as many as they've said back.

the only reason I like the 350Z forum so much is because the owner are so full of themselves, like they drive Gods Personal Charriot or something. The only Japanese car owners that have reason to be cocky are FD owners, haha.

The problem with this forum is most of the people here never had a rotary before and dont understand it. Its hard to say a "mean" thing about the 8 once you have driven it.

Don't worry! no offense. But I always thought the RSX was a premium FWD......maybe I was wrong, and the dude that was tryin' to sell me one, was exagerating.

RSX is a nice car, no doubt.

13.9 sounds like Hondata and aem cai and decent driver. Not many dollars there.

The RSX is not an econobox. Hell i guess it is if you paid 35k out the door like me. But we are an econobox to some other cars too id suppose.

RSX will have a huge weight advantage on the Z as will we and every bit helps tons.

I think the Z is a great car and it does get bashed prolly because right "now" its at the top of the heap power wise besides the turbo boxes. We will get the same heat after our R&D is complete and people find how to make very applicable power.

I may not like many aspects of the Z but i sure do respect it.

No reasons to diss this forum either.:p

I wasn't directing exclusivly at you. It was just a warning to keep thing civil. I wouldn't want to have to close the thread.:)

IC...well it also seems to hold true that just about every car forum will have some amount of that attitude.

But by far the worst are the Z and IS300 boards. Owners of these cars think they're the greatest and all else should bow down. Nothing could be further from reality.

Toyota Supra... (my best friend has one...).. but everyone on that forum is cool with the rx-8 ... z... and another car out there... 1 out 20 are dicks ... most of the guys and girls on that forum are not dicks..

ill rather have a RSX than a 350z

Yes i think we all know how much you hate the Z by now....you got that point accross several insults ago.

i'm sure you'd take ANY car right now considering you're not old enough to even have a license ;)

but i must disagree...i'd take the 350Z over a fully modded 10 sec. RSX anyday...350's are beautiful cars with performance to back up the killer looks...it was a very tough decision for me between the RX-8, 350Z, and G35...i love my 8 but after all the HP confusion, lies, quality of service, etc, this will be my last Mazda, other than perhaps another later year RX-7/8 (i'll have to wait and see what the Supra has to offer, and perhaps by then, Mitsu will come back with my 3000GT!)...though the cars are phenomenal, the problems i had with customer service are by far the worst i've ever had to deal with

there is no new supra, toyota confirmed that regardless of the success of the 350Z and all the buzz about the rx-8 they prefer to stick with boring practicle cars and suv's.

Yep...it's true. :(

oh well as I guess the rx-7 and the S2000 will have to take up the slack as the only real inspiring japanse sportscars.

Okeeeeey...what about the rx8? It performs pretty well around the track. ;)

Same goes here, lots of 8 owners don't have respect for any other cars.

They stop making the RX7 as well. Right now it's the 4 door sports car in favor.

I meant to say rx-8, rx-7 is not in production. My bad.

Personally, I like the 350Z. I've been a Z fan since my dad bought one in '85. I had my heart set on a 350Z for months. I even had my checkbook ready @ the dealership to buy one. Unfortunately I didn't feel safe driving it w/ the view I had out the rear view mirror. I don't regret my RX8 purchase (I love it!), but I still like the 350Z.

I dont sense that here at all....most rx8 owners respect other cars. Only a few bad apples here....they know who they are ;).

Instead of reviving the Supra, Press tells Ward's a vehicle such as the FJ Cruiser concept, shown a year ago at the North American International Auto Show, would be more appropriate.
That is the worse reason ever. Not reviving one of the greatest sports cars in the world because they would rather build an SUV.

Oh well, I guess car companies are around to make money, and a SUV makes more $.


Back on topic:
I would probably prefer the 350Z over the RSX just because it is rear wheel drive. If you are going to have a sports car, than the power should go to the right end of the car.

I'm a Good Apple!! I am , I am!!!

I dont think pimps car opinion counts too much, since as far as I know, he doesnt drive ANYTHING. If you base your car opinion on looks alone, then it's a piss poor opinion.

That being said, I dont know many who would consider a RSX better than a 350Z. Even an RSX you spend a pile of money on doesnt have the handling (I think) over the 350Z. And the 350, is a good car. Better than a RSX.

Just the RWD vs FWD issue would decide it for me at least. Let alone everything else.

Oh and I'm not a good apple. I'm a bad apple. BAD! BAD BAD BAD apple!

Interms of performance you would hope the 350Z outperforms an rsx, look at the price difference. What saddens me is the RSX is much higher quality (as most cars are). Look at the fit/finish, interior and compare. That whats most sad.

RSX is a Honda so the built quality would be better but the thread is I think, about which one is better as a sports car.

BTW integra type R (DC5 = US model RSX) has legendary handling. Just because it's FF doesn't mean it can't handle, a common miss perception. So with the right mod (Type R pieces) it would be a great handler.

considering I started the thread I can answer what its about. No where did I say the RSX is a better sportscar, nor did I say that this thread is about that.

I belive I do have respect for ALL cars. I may not have respect for some of the people who drive them. Although, that's not enough -in my book at least- to stain the entire owners' community.

Yeah, hope all manufacturers would follow through, Mazda included.

I think the fit and finish of the rx-8 is nothing short of fantastic. there is nothing in its price range that is as good of quality, has as good of a fit or finish. Not to mention the refinement.

Ops your right, I thought this was another thread. My fault.
