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
After reading all that,

A good driver in an RX8 will beat a good driver in a Z.

....... hahahahahhaa!!!!........

it would seem that your one of those drivers.. IE .. you dont let the 8 creap up to 4k while the Z or the Porsch is passing you by..

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

That's what you said last time I brought it up... and then I posted...

"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.

That's it, thread is closed. This insult crap is just plain stupid. If you can't act like adults on here, then don't bother posting.
