Sociopath

Okay, don't bash me for asking this crazy question, but I've seen a lot of threads on people wanting/thinking of getting rid of their 8 for something else. So I'm just curious what would you get if you were to trade or sell your RX8 (not that you would of course) :D

My Two Choices:
(1) Audi S4 2005
(2) Infiniti G35 Coupe 2005

I've set up a pole of what I think would be the top 10 choices. Feel free to list out what I've missed. :p

Hahaha... I forgot one important candidate - Mazdaspeed 6

Assuming that I could afford to trade into an M3 that would be it--if I was counting pennies, it'd be a Mustang GT or G35 Coupe.

8's enough

Traded my 8 last week for M3. Great car but miss the shifter of 8 which was excellent. However everything about the M3 is so robust gives feeling of being harder to break than more delicate feeling 8. Got $23,000 for 8 on trade in which was not bad considering local dealer(Long Beach Mazda) is discounting all 2004s $5,000. I am going to miss the 8 but the M3 is more bullet proof IMO. Hated to go back into debt but......

Trying to get my hands on a 1984 Porsche 911 Cab. I found some on eBay for $3,000, but they're all the way up north, and probably not worth it. If it were a new car, I'll go with the EVO MR.

If money was no object, it would be the M3. However I choose on what I would be able to afford, so I chose the Infiniti G35 Coupe 2005.

If I was going "cheap", I would choose the new Mustang. Love the sound of that V8.

Dodge Magnum R/T.

I am a musclehead at heart, and the torquey, powerful V8 of that Magnum, plus room for me and my friends golf clubs, bowling *****, power tools, etc, makes the magnum a very appealing choice to me. That is, until I get in my '8......

Mr. Ed's rx-8

duh...the R32!!! :D

Why isn't the C6 an option? If I were to replace the RX-8, the C6 is pretty nice this time around.

ranger4277

Not on the list... but even if it ends up being fiction I'd trade it on a FI Mazdaspeed 8.

AKS4

R32, altough I'd first need to trade in my 00 S4 on an 8, which I plan on doing.

RXE16T

Where's the Lotus Elise 111R?

Sociopath

I would of listed every possible car, but only 10 options were allowed on the poles.

Speed-ER doc

2004 Mustang Cobra convertible. Sweet deals now, since there is no 2005 model.

I got mine for 32K. You can get a coupe for under 29K. People who say they are only for straight line power haven't driven one. It's faster and more stable in a high speed sweeper than my 8 was. Better stereo and A/C too. I love it.

Aoshi Shinomori

I'd trade it for another 8!! I don't have my 8 yet, but there's not really another car in that price range that I'd want to trade to. I think Shelleys man has the right idea with the Evo MR, beautiful car but I like the 8 more Who knows. How about we make a thread about who has traded in their 8 and what they got? I know ER doc got the cobra, so who else?

AKS4

cobra's are very nice inded, my friend up here just left state, but had a ncie blue one. Cobra's and rotaries have the sweetest notes in the world IMO. His had "some stuff" done to it, was running 11's. tried Auto-xing once didn't do too bad actually.

I'd be interested in that therad of "What did you trade your 8 in for?"

AutoBahnRX8

I've actually been thinking about selling my 8, but everytime I drive her, I change my mind. I'm looking at the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.7 Hemi.

shelleys_man_06

I'll get whatever the hell this thing is (BMW Z1?!).



While I'm at it, the E30 M3 should be in my garage.

RX-Hachi

None of the cars in your poll. I could have easily bought any one of those, but chose the RX-8.

I'm very happy with the RX-8 and have no urge to trade for anything at this time. But in the future (say 3-5 years out), these cars have my interest:

- Mazdaspeed RX-8
- 4th gen RX-7 (if they ever make it)
- new e90 BMW M3 sedan
- C6 Corvette Z06
- 997 Porsche 911 type S **this is the one I'm really saving for:D
- new Porsche Boxster Coupe type S
(suppose to be lighter and cheaper than the Boxster rag top)

One of the above will most likely be my next car.

When you guys start getting rid of the 8's, make sure to hit up the 6 forums, who knows, maybe some mazdaspeed 6 guys will do direct swaps .

If I had the money.... 2005 Chevy Corvette.
