i am buying one next month, but i really don't like the idea that my brother is getting smoke in Dallas from those Z, can we just stop saying that they will smoke us and start thinking in what we can do to beat them......

 

Like it or not the SRT4 is fast.

But the rear passengers STILL have to roll down their windows.

 

The dodge is very fast! I have a friend that bought a new one for like 18.5 OTD so it was a good deal for him.

You should see them at autox, they just spin first AND second all the time!

If only it was a RWD car! I think the topic of this post should involve RWD somewhere.

I bought the RX8 because you can't find a RWD car new for the value of the 8. Sure the power is less than some other cars, but you have ultimate control over the rear end

Forget FWD cars for me for now on, it's good to be back in a RWD car, but it does take more skill to drive on at the limits!

 

BTW,

I drove an Rx-8 yesterday and was AMAZED by how it drove, what an AMAZING Machine. Anyone that disses the rx-8 needs to drive it. You cant drive this car and not love it.

 

Well put! Enough of the "magazine" racing already@!!!!

 

If an SRT-4 ever wants to race you just roll down your rear windows while driving and give them a big grin while they speed off in anger :D

 

To resurface an old thread, my 02 Maxima turned out to be affected (notice came in the mail despite a call to NNA saying my car wasn't affected).

It took the dealer a little over an hour to do it (I waited while it was done). The PDF of the procedure is at http://www.harjothundal.com/maximaor...nesensor3.pdf. The sensors are NOT internal. Also, if you look at the end, you'll notice that the billing time for the job is 0.5-0.8 hours depending on the car.

 

the rx7 was a little prone to overheating....they fixed that problem with the new rx8. besides, the looks of the rx8 are WAY better than the z. also (honestly) the stereo system in the z sounds like it is underwater and the stock suspension is pretty damn horrible.

 

I've had both cars and I really, really like both. I live in LA and am not so great with stick, so I'm comparing auto Touring Z to auto 8, so the disparity is bigger than if the 8 were a stick. (if I had two cars, I'd get it in stick for weekends but can only afford one).

Now that I have the 8, I kind of miss the Z (switched because the dealer screwed up on the title of the Z) but the 8 is a really great car. Both are very fun to drive. Z for its torque and the 8 for its responsive steering. Z handles very well but the 8 "feels" lighter" and easier to whip around. 8 is definitely more practical and you never know if you're going to need that space.

I'd be great to have both; Still cost less than a Porsche

 

This subject has been beaten to death. Do a search.

 

My engine blew...they replaced it....if I had the chance to do it all over again, I'd still get the RX8.

I try and find excuses to get out and drive it.

 

I have an Audi and I love the ride and handling of my Audi - nothing beats the AWD in winter. The ride of the 350Z may not be great if you are used to the Audi handling and ride. That's why I choose an RX8 (I still have my Audi allroad with the RX8 as my alternate ride). If you want speed, 350Z will give you a split second faster ... but I would not give up the ride and great handling of the RX8.

 

Ummm you're not really this clueless are you Doug? This thread is nearly a year old, obviously someone DID do a search... That or someone types REALLY slow :p

 

The Z is a better looking car.
The 8 is a better car.

 

I think that the rx-8 is way better looking than the Z, but dont get me wrong, I love the 350Z too.

 

Who brought this thread back?

 

budebaker

 

BAWHHHHHH...Good one. :D :p

 

So what did you get??? The 8 or the Z?

I drove an 03 350z with the vdc system for 2 years. The car handles great, but is heavy as hell, and is a bulldog of a car. It lacks the sophistication and finesse of an rx-8. If I were to choose between the two cars,...i'd stick to the RX-8! It's sleek, the engine has a great hummm rather than a throaty gurgle farting burp of the z. that's just my opinion.

 

I like mushrooms on my pizza.

 

Your opinion is a year too late. Nobody gives a **** anymore. Let this freaking thread DIE already!

 

That's funny. It's especially funny because you're assuming someone cares what you have to say.

FYI, the point of a forum is to post your thoughts on various subjects. He chose to post here rather than perhaps starting another thread. To which, I am sure, you would have responded: "Do a search you stupid noob"

 

Hawaiian pizzas are good also.

 

Obviously you care .
