Found a new video RX8 vs 350Z

Wasn't too sure if this was posted before.. The Z wins over the 8 but the driver still prefers the 8. Enjoy

haha yeah that top gear video is awesome until the end... but that guy does over exagerate EVERYTHING, just to correct himself at the end of each show.

Yeah. Can't blame them though, I had that video on my myspace for awhile. Can't blame people for wanting to share their excitement in the car, if there were more video's to pick from other than that and this one in the thread there wouldn't be as many posting the top gear one

As for his exaggeration, it's not that bad, and he only corrected himself because of the tires that are on the 8, which I think everyone on the forums is on the same page that they aren't the best of tires for the car...

He doesn't really correct himself as much as the co-hosts make him rethink it and he changes his mind...It's still a fun show to watch none the less

Favorite episode is when they're taking people home in their own cars and talking about how good/bad they are.

The brakes in this car are pretty...vinegary....

The Top gear Video was definitely a Video for a RX-8 lover, the curly head brit really Loved the Mazda RX-8, he drove the crap out of it and gave it a pretty good rating, stating that its the best Sports Car he ever driven while on the track. But retracted the statement after back in the studio saying something about it being unstable on wet surface.

He also made some comment about the exterior styling (that it was confusing)but really like the interior and the rear doors. They reported data that around the track the Madza Rx-8 was equal to the 350z and the BMW M3, not mo.

The old video posted I don't understand the Rx-8 lost every race, twisties and Quarter then they brought in a slightly mod older STI saying that it was a better bang for buck the either of the newer cars. I just can't see driving around in a STI too Transformer looking.

The Rx-8 won when one driver said that with some changes the Rx-8 would be a better car and the Z-car was already a drivers car. The Other Pro driver said it was 50-50 after driving the Z more.
