LMAO, now that one's better than the first.
I like to think of Jesus as wearin' a Tuxedo T-shirt, 'cause it says, like, "I want to be formal, but I'm here to party too." I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party

Oh, that's right...this is the place we are supposed to login and endlessly search because everything to be said has already been said.
...SO unless you have something totally new that has never ever been mentioned before keep your mouth shut and go look it up in encyclopedia search-tannica.
Some things will always be talked about over and over and over and over again...but isn't that the point? Continuing discussion of things that are on our minds? Show me someone that's ever had a meaningful discussion with a search engine.

When you bought your car, did you research it, or did you simply ask someone else to make the decision for you? Yeah, as you might guess, same scenario here, which is why this is a discussion board, not a redundancy board.

If you want to continue a discussion that is on your mind, go to the original thread where it was posted. I assume you have had some amount of schooling. Did the teachers hand out answers to you, or did you have to do some minuscule amount of research? It's really not that hard to search...and you may find more than what the people on ATM have to offer.

Of course there will be those who will want to **** and moan about someone digging up an old thread that they saw fit to be dead, but that's another discussion all together.

Neither the CaymanS nor the BoxsterS is the same kind of animal...you can be a horrible driver and look like you know what you are doing. Kinda takes the fun out of the whole thing...definitely takes out the skill of the driver.
Hardly seems worth it to me...if I didn't want my driving skills to matter I would take a taxi.

I think the 370 is going to out perform the rx8 with out a doubt. Do I want one, not really. I will be curious to see if mazda will be able to respond with a rotary equipped car.

I drove a friend's Boxster S at an event once and really...you can drive it like a madman and get away with it! The car just would not let me lose control the way any other car would.
It was creepy. Who is in control here...me or the car! Lol
Edit: I used to think the Top Gear guys were feeding a line of crap until I drove one myself. Check it out...

8s are easy to drive fast (easy being a subjective term)...but its really not the same...and its hard to describe.

Magazine Racing/Internet Racing by pure numbers is a fool's game. The way a car "feels" to it's driver is based upon a myriad of variables not to mention even more preferences. Certainly a Z is a vastly capable car (moreso for it's pricepoint) but if you prefer how it gets to those numbers that are published is up to you.
Just for the record and so one can define why I might be able to speak about any of this from somewhere other than my rectum.........I owned an S2k for 2 years, then a 350Z for about 3 years and just traded it (the Z) in on my RX a few weeks ago.....
The Z is a beast, it's got torque in gobs and makes nice noises as it's doing it. I learned to trust that yes, she WOULD stick around a corner and not get out of hand but it took a long while (coming out of the S) to accept what I felt like was WAAAAY too much heft and body roll. Meaning, yes, it will corner, it will CERTAINLY out accellerate but I (my preference) never liked the way it went about it's motions. I never fell in love w/ that car like I had my S.
Buying the RX has me back in what I feel like a sports car should be, it "feels" light and nimble to me, it tosses around nicely and talks to me right as the rear tires give up their grip. I am back to grinning when I drive and looking for excuses to go get my wife something from the store, it's a liberating feeling.
All this said, it's up to each person what facets of a car they like, you may like that monster feeling the Z gives and if so by all means.........but I'll stay in the camp with those that "are following the trend this website has set" that think that the RX far outhandles a Z. We had a G35c for my wife in there too BTW which I actually preferred for several reasons over the Z but that's a different discussion

The facts are, 340/350/360/370/380 Nissan Z family, and its other shared platforms Maxima/Altima/TL/Charger/GTR/Mustang/35/36/37, have a long way to go to catch up to rotary power.
The 370 is an improvement because it outhandles rx8, but still loses against the rotary fury in real-life 0-60.
Whatever the mythical "twisties" are, I've never seen them, don't want to, and that "twist***" term is the most hated language in the entire Mazda/Rotary canon, other than "zoom z***".
Get real people.
