ooooo woow, i like this article. BUT after reading this article im also having some doubts between and rx-8 and 350Z, i like a super torquey feel... and the interior for the rx-8 didn't look as "cool" as the 350Z's or the s2000's... hmmm what do u think?

If serious, you have the perfect reason to go try each and every one...multiple times if need be :D . You will then have the answer grasshopper.

Great find!

That articles is about a month old and has been discussed on this site many times

yes, but there are more posts from people saying 'this is old' than there are those bringing up that article.

I love my 8, and i think it is a better car than the other two, but all the stats favor the S2000 and the Z????????? Why did they pick the 8

Beacause stats don't make a car... And with a few tweeks the RX8 stats are better...

Hey i've never seen that article before. It's pretty interesting. THANKS!

only thing i'm so disappointed about is the mazdaspeed version coming out next year (?). i'm gonna be so jealous when the MS version comes out and someone w/ it pulls up next to me. :( good article tho.

great find. thanks for the link

I'm not worried about the MS version. The 31k price tag my RX-8 had was about as much as I wanted to spend. If the MS version is 40k, it wouldn't have been in the price range I was shooting for.

Speaking of which, there was a dealer in south FL that had a fully equipped MS version (they installed all the parts) and were selling the car off because they quit being a MS dealer (They said Mazda charges them thousands of dollars to sell their products and they weren't going to be paying them anymore for that privilege). They wanted somewhere around 45k for the car - he claimed that was 1k over invoice. I said no thanks :P

I doubt MSRP for the Mazdaspeed will be $40K. According Road&Track's SPEED magazine, the JDM prices for the MS is about $32,730.

But the current JDM A-spec version is still NA, with very minor hp gains. Our US spec version is suppose to be either supercharged or turbocharged.

So I'd guess a $35K-ish MSRP price. Of course the dealers will slap on a markup (for sure here in hawaii), so it might be a $40K asking price.

Great article. I have a little horsepower envy right now, but I wouldn't give up my new 8. I've been a long time Z fan and test drove the 350Z, but after driving the RX8, I felt it rode better and had a better look. Overall, the 8 is a btter car.

They got a pretty nice quater mile time of 14.49 @ 95.47

And i was surprised that they found the 8 to have better "reflexes" then the S2000 :cool:

All you have to know is the Mazdaspeed RX8 kicked S2000's ass
in a five lap battle, the MS won by about 4 seconds on a 1:08 seconds lap =D

MS changes the suspension, lightflywheel, chassis brace, and tower bar

and MS is not a aggressive change...
