From 350z to RX8
 

I just traded in my red 350z to a brand spanking new Gray RX8 GT . I'm happy with my decision but i must agree that my Z is one fast car but my new RX is a more complete car . I just said goobye to my friends at 350zmotoring.com and just signed in tonight on this forum and i must say that this one big community of 8's gear heads. :rock:

Awesome! Welcome to the Forum!

Heh, I need a link to your post on the Z forum... The people here are going to just love that you traded in a Z for the RX-8.

Oh, and welcome. :)

Congratulations on your purchase. I'm a new 8 owner, too, and have been very pleased with the car so far. It's very well-rounded: good power, great handling, comfortable, sophisticated, even practical for a sports car. You should love it.

You traded in a great car, too, but I think you'll find the 8 a lot more liveable on a day-to-day basis. And a LOT more comfortable.

i wanna see that thread too. :)

welcome to the 8 forum. hope you enjoy the ride.

350z has a more macho feel due to its bull frog stance and deep sounding exhaust note, but it has a clanky shifter, unrefined ride, too simple looking interior no sunroof as an option, ride is too noisy even if you replace the tires, no back seat and the most i hate about my Z now is THERES TOO MANY Z ON THE ROAD NOW !!!! too many that it will be just like a honda civic that you see in every corner of the roads.

One of the guys where I work bought a new Z about 2 days after I got the RX8. He prefers his Z over the 8 in part for the power and ear candy it makes at 5000+ RPM.

We get about the same fuel mileage, although I do a bit more highway then he does. The one thing he really doesn't like about the Z is the tiny cargo area. He and his wife are going to Colorado next week in his wife's Accord as her suitcase won't fit in the Z.

Persoanlly I see the Z as a Sports Car and the RX8 as a Touring Car. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, so it depends on one's lifestyle and needs.

I can say the the gas mileage on the z and 8 is almost the same, this is just my initial obsrervation coz i'm only getting 18mpg on mix driving.

Congratulations, I think it'll be an interesting transition from a Z to a RX-8.

Ike, do you have an RX-8?

well.. the nissan 350z was designed in california i believe.. so its meant to be muscle car.... except it has a french engine... lol Japenees name, Designed in the states.. and has a French engine... welcome!@

Z is a much faster straight line car, 8 is a better handling car with backseats

/thread

ike has an evo r... might not pick that battle... you can search his posts... not hard to do...

beers :beer:

wondering what were your big issuses with the z????

beers :beer:

so why does he have so many post?

Ike just likes maintaining the size of his e-wang on RX-8 forums by putting others down or dishing out insults.

ike is an icon here.... i knows more about the rx8 than most that post here.... he sometimes keeps things well in check...

he had a wrx before the evo.... how is it that you dont know this stuff...

beers :beer:

not really he has real ?s... unlike yours.... should i post you stupid ?s

beers :beer:

I mainly just like putting you down. Before you joined the forums my being here felt empty and meaningless. Thanks for giving me hope and purpose!

i think we got a cock rider here.

ok,
post a stupid ? ike has asked... clue. start with the threads he has started....

beers:beer:

Ike doesn't post any "stupid" questions about the RX-8 because he doesn't have one.

It's mainly because if I want to know something about the RX-8 I search until I find it.

yea you got him on that one... ike did not ask any of those ?s

i bet he knows the answers to them all... as to saynotopistions.. sorry i got your little myforum banner gone.

beers :beer:

thanks for the list of my posts.

I search first before I post almost all the time. If I don't find enough information to thoroughly satisfy my question during the search and make a post.

You seem to forget that a good search depends on the right keywords. Sometimes the keywords I have in mind for my question may not match up and therefore I do not get the info I need.

Capiche?
