S2000, 350z or RX-8????
 

From those three, I bought the RX-8!!! Love the car....But had alot of doubts when peolple start telling me, 350zzs are better and all. So, need some insights about this issue....like performance wise, mod .......

Hrm...

Nah, too easy!

^^lol^^
since Ike won't, i'll say it nicely, you should've searched
performance wise, you got the wrong car
the s2000 is similiar, but better slightly better performance wise, but is not very practicle
the 350z is torquey, much faster in the straights, lacks a little bit in the turns, but again not as practicle
the rx8 likes to rev, has 4 decently usuable seats, does well in autoX's but will lack in straights
the 8 will not respond to mods as well and the only way to really get a noticeable performance gain is FI.
the end.

Would you dump your girlfriend if someone told you another girl was hotter??

BTW, .5 seconds is MUCH faster??

Duh!

poor wrx... dumped by Ike for an evo..

well, as you may know, the 8 is the "least fast" of the bunch in a straight line (not that important, though, but i guess that is subjective). however, it can be argued that the 8's handling/driver experience is superior to the other two. only having driven the 8 out of those 3, i ca't really attest to that statement, but i can tell you that after 2 years, i am still amazed by the feel of the car & love it more with each day.

that being said, the performance aftermarket for the 8 is not up to par with the Z or S2K, as the engine is unique, therefore a smaller market, not as easy to just fit already created systems to the car, etc. good luck, it certainly is an unbelievably fun car as it stands.

the rx-8 is practical, unique, and smooth- compared to s2k and 350z

s2k- faster in both corners and straights but not by much

350z- faster in straight

but i still like my 8. if your issue is performance, then sorry dude. rx8 is quick, but modding for more will be tough.

there is a reason the s2000 is now AS

AS?

Auto Superiority

s2000 - comptech supercharger, around 3000$ 340hp, factory warranty, BUT too small

350z - 300hp stock, with turbo can be easily up in 400 - 500hp range, BUT ugly n wierd interior

rx8 - 300hp with greddy turbo hopefully no blown apex seals with good tuning, but all round nicer car than both of the above, better looking too IMO

-_-

s2000>rest in looks imo

but do we all agree that the 350z looks ugly?

no

Among the 3, the S2000 would be my first choice. Other than a bit more acceleration, the Z has nothing over it. The 8 is just slightly more practical with the 4 seat, sometimes I wished there was none so its lighter and smaller. Just my opinion though

k fine

agreed, except has one more thing, torque.

I thought that was implied with the better acceleration, No? U talking about the Z or the 8?
I'm lost.....

Are you any relation to BeefyJoe?

He couldn't wait to get rid of his 8 because he couldn't gun it during rush hour traffic.

Did you buy his?

[QUOTE=cjkim]s2000>rest in looks imo[/QUOTE

But do you think in the near future we gonna get better performance parts for the RX-8s...So we can kick some assssssssssssssss!!! (350z maybe??)

torque doesn't necessarily mean better acceleration overall. let me rephrase that to "a lot more low-end"

[QUOTE=jonyjoe]sure, FI
search the FI threads...

I know but which one were you referring to?
