Can't you say stopping power, turning and reaction speed are down to the driver too?
c'mon, the rx-8 is a great car, but the g35 has more horsepower and torque. and, yes definitely a better 0-60 time (unless you're gonna count on driver error, but in that case i can turn faster in a prius than a really crappy slow driver does in a ferarri).

let's not talk track cuz that's harder to get an objective comparison.
for the original poster, see what's important to him out of these categories:
gas mileage, luxury, comfort, handling, connectedness, uniqueness, power, sporty look, dealer treatment, resale value, reliability, price, less maintenance.
for each one of these, give a point to the g35: gas mileage, luxury, comfort, power, dealer treatment, resale value, less maintenance.
for each one of these give a point for the rx8: price, handling, connectedness, uniqueness, sporty look.
Which ever one has a higher score for him, he should get (provided he's still undecided after the test drives).

On getting a used RX-8, we looked at a 2005 GT with 17k miles. Dealer asking $20k with 2.5 years of warranty left on it. The car is in excellent, not mint, condition. Somewhat of a downside is the rear tires are different brands (Dunlops) from the front tires (Bridgestone RE040). I guess the four tires will need to be replace with something else then...Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 perhaps.
