Quotes courtesy Dazz:

"If you want a wickedly styled, highly focused coupe and can live with two seats, intrusive noise levels, indifferent ride, limited luggage space, and some rawness in exchange for a brilliant chassis, blazing performance, and an intensely symbiotic car-driver relationship, with driving experiences that can be even more rewarding than demanding, the 350Z has all the qualifications. Go drive, and enjoy. It's a cut-price supercar.

However, if you want a car that's a great drive not only on challenging roads, but everywhere and every day, a highly individual, yet thoroughly practical device that proves exciting performance, shining chassis dynamics, and palpable refinement can co-exist in a finely sorted package, then the RX-8 offers it all. And more.

The Mazda is simply delicious. Might as well add taste to the list of senses it stimulates and satisfies"

RX-8 350Z
0-60km/h 3.1, 3.0
0-100km/h 6.4, 6.4
400m 14.8@155, 14.3@164
Fuel Economy Average 14.5l/100, 12.1l/100

Not bad!

Cheers, will get this today, sounds like a pretty balanced review and I was impressed to see the figures similar for both cars in terms of 0-100 times (though I note slightly higher than advertised for both vehicles).

The fact that the Z goes to 3rd gear to get to 100 and the 8 is very close what quoted 6.2...

Try the car today at mallara raceway... very nice. I am sure I should get the car, provide that I can convice my wife. I am highlighting the 6 airbag to her :)

interesting to see a yellow car used.
