Dont get me wrong I have always loved the Z car.. But the Rotary is a much better power plant. and the suspinsion is also far better in the 8 .. but yes.. Drivers.. good drivers ..
a good driver in a vw rabbit could out drive a bad driver in an 8
heheh I would love to see that hehe

You start out at that rev... That means that you are already passing the z and then you hit the corner and keep on going !
it is all subjective. and most deffanitly depends on driver skill ..
HP at the wheels is only half of it !!

7 Secs?? IKE
you have never shown a link to that. And most mags have them almost identical to 100, so your saying that extra 30mph is a 7sec diff???
show me a link. Yah I am sure you have had lots of real world experience in the 8.....lol..........yah ok

Both cars in all the mags I have looked at show almost identical 0-100 times, yet you keep referring to the 0-130. I have never seen any numbers like that, but I forgot, your the car expert right??

"This was the article.
http://www.caranddriver.com/article...p;page_number=1
They don't list all the numbers on their website, but the numbers in the mag were...
1/4 Mile
G35 14.2
RX-8 14.5
Cobra 12.9
0-100
G35 14.2
RX-8 15.8
Cobra 10.6
0-130
G35 26.8
RX-8 33.5
Cobra 18.4
If you want better numbers than C&Ds test results, I can't help you there."
Lay off the weed man, I'm sick of having the same discussion with you. The freaking article was even linked earlier in this post.
