Hehe. I think Blue is what they mean by someone who simply *has* to get in the last word.

"I'm done.. I'm gone for good now.. unless you say something else that I have to respond to..."

"Ok this time really I'm gone...."

I wonder how long it will take

You were right.

"I'm done now....no, make that later...OK, now I'm really done".

Bluboy's real brave on the internet. Forget the dragway. Let's just meet in Boston to "chat".

blue boy....what a jerkoff!

I didn't put any words in your mouth, Blue. I didn't claim you said those things, it was a comical take on the situation.

That said, you aren't really 'done'. You should perhaps have originally said "I'm done as soon I get the last word in". That would have been more accurate, because 'done' means 'done', and that you apparantly are not.

To graphicguy and Blue 350z both: so long as both of you are determined to insult the other and throw words around, this thread will not die short of a moderator shutting it down. One of you please be the better man and let it end!

Aussie, I have not insulted anybody until Graphic guy started calling me a jerkoff and an a-hole.. I hope this tread gets shut down. I should of probably did the report a post thing instead of getting into a name calling thing. Very childish.

Well there you have it. How can you argue with that? Your superior command of facts, logic and pursuasive argument wins the day. I give up. You win bluey.

Blue 350Z, if you are still there, THe Z car is a sports car and a nice car. It is just different. What happens is when opinions are shared too strongly is that people get defensive. Remember too that you are on an RX 8 website. Read the article under the thread RX 8 vs. 350Z. It sums up things pretty good. It applauds the Z for great power etc and the 8 for its attributes.

RacerX8, I'll be at mid-Ohio. It's kind of like a MECCA for me. Wish we could hook up. Bunch of buddies and I go with a first generation Mini that we use strictly for autoX. I'll be in the mini which is red with the Brit flag painted on the top. Do you participate? If so, what do you drive?
Man, I surely do wish I could be there! The last time I was at the SCCA National Runnoffs was when it was at Road Atlanta. This event is a must-see for anybody worthy of owning an RX-8 or any other sports-type car. This is where it's at!!!!!

Alas, I'll be at work.

My brother will be racing there in GT-2. See http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.p...613#post114613 for the lowdown on that.

I try to meet with him & his great team whenever I can. He knows that I know enough about cars & racing. So he lets me "participate" as a team member when I am with them. I would LOVE to do this much more often. Too bad he's usually on the other side of the continent.

Look for his car & say "Hi Bud" for me please. (That's his name)

Good luck with your racing too. Wish we could have met there!

Oh man, your brother is running with the big boys. I'm nowhere within sniffing distance of his caliber. I'll try to hook up with him and say "hi" but doubt I'll get anywhere close to the "main event". My crew and I are just "hobbyists".

Still, we participate every year. I'm taking the week off and will be there the weekend before putting our car together. We trailer it with a couple of engines, 3 sets of tires, 3 brake sets, and some suspension bits out. We learned to run what we brung with regards to temps, humidity and general weather conditions. So, we trailer in everything we might need (and it's still never enough). We've got some sponsors who help us, but most of it comes out of our own pockets. Plus, the sponsors are small time and do little more than to let us use their tools and garage space for preparation....nothing in the way of cash.

We work all year for this one week. We spend the rest of the year tuning, failing, fixing, fiddling, running in locals just to get there.

You've obviously been there, so you know what it's like. Sorry you can't make it.

Was that an insult to the RX-8?? I"m confused....

....off topic but is there a guage that tells stuff like tire pressure/ oil pressure / voltmeter on the 8?

Whew, shoulda read this post when it started instead of picking it up in one session. There goes 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.

350Z owners... your car does NOT suck monkey butt.

I like it... alot.... I like my 8 BETTER.

I'm over 30 and don't feel the need for a RACER... but I did have the desire for a SPORTY car. If I wanted ***** to the wall speed/power/torque... I would've picked up a Z06 Vette.

In this city of about 50,000 (city limits), I've seen at least 6 different Zs crusing around town and just as many 50ths and Z06s... I've got the only 8. (there are about 100 PT Cruisers too... ewwwwwwwwwwww)

My stepdaughter's brother in law, had his heart set on a new 350Z. After an hour in my 8 and a 30 minute road test, he's ready to order an RX-8. He said "I'm not going to race my car, these RX-8s have more than enough get-up-an-go for me."

You have to remember where you are... this IS an RX-8 forum, not a 350Z forum, so you're going to have conflict between egos. We all have opinions... it's just that the MAJORITY of those opinions will favor the 8, around here. Now if this was a general, sportscar board...

Peace

Yeah, it's silly to argue over who has the best 1/4 mile or 0-60 standing start time,the 350Z or the RX-8, when there are so many everday vehicles out there that can whip both of them hands down in that area.

I think if your gonna go head to head between the Z & the 8 in a quarter, you should also line up with one of those new Ford Lightning Pickups at the same time... might put a little perspective on your outlook.

OK, sorry guys- this is getting a little too ugly. We left it open as long as we could, but the insults are getting a bit much. Sorry to close what was originally a perfectly good thread, but this is not serving any purpose other than a place for insulting each other now.
