He just has buyers remorse. That's the big reason he's posting here.

Musta parked next to an rx8, met 2 girls who thought he was standing next to the 8 (because the z looks "normal").... they wanted to go have sex with him,

and he's like
"one of you will have to sit on the others lap"... *clicks remote and the z lights flash*

the girls are like
"wtf with my head in the windshield? nothx i thought u drove the cool car".

him
"what my car is cool, its a nissan 350z"

girls
"they must be cheap because we saw 20 of them today"

him
"i paid __ for it"

girls
"oh u got ripped off"

*guy with rx8 comes out of some super models apartment he picked up earlier*

girls
"hey nice car, can you take us for a ride"

rx8 guy
"sure ladies, hop in" *opens up suicide door*

girls
"omg im so horney, lets get away from this guy with the mullet and 350z"

Shouldn't he be on 350Z club talking about how happy he is and stuff..??

Why waste time on here when you don't like and don't own a RX8??

His research consisted of sitting in other peoples unlocked cars, and starting brand new update threads every three days when he went to look at a car.

wouldn't you just love to switch gears in a piston at redline, having the tensioner float for a split second due to the timing belt slaping against it, then all of a sudden your cam gears slip a tooth or two causing your pistons to slam into the valves.

There are too many failure points on a piston engine in my eyes.
What? The 350 has a very strong reliable engine. See if there are any multiple engine members over there? Any "zero problems" members as well.

I think most of us realized long ago you would always be scared of rotary reliability and never learn to appreciate it the way the rest of do. No biggie, the rotary is not well known by any but a very few enthusiasts. But you might have learned something here. For example, did you see that Mazda recently increased the warranty on the engine to 100k/8yrs precisely becuase of the fears of people like you.

It's amazing to me that the RX-8 compares so favorably to 2-seat sports cars like the Z or s2k, given it's practical rear seats and lower price. All of your threads have been obsessed with the rather strained comparison between the Z and the 8. Did you consider other options? Did you look at other 2-seaters like the Cayman, a Corvette, or an Exige?

Did you buy new or used? How much did you pay? What's your warranty?

What has got me interested in the RX8 and chomping at the bit to get one as my next car is the reviews I read about it. It sounds like a "driver's car." And that's just what I want right now. I've done the muscle car thing, but I really don't care for straight line speed. I want a track car. Every review I read about the RX8 on the track makes it sound like such a fun and rewarding car to drive around a track.

He can have his Z (which I beginning to see is more like a Japanese muscle car). Give me an 8 and a road course.

Good Luck with your purchase!

A quick story/warning though: My 6'5" brother and I just returned from a 4000 mile road trip (in 7 days, 5 states) in my 50,000 mile 2004 silver sunlight 8 and it ran godly (cause it was made by god). Icy terror, 100+ degree weather, etc., the 8 prevailed over every obstacle.

Along the way, I met a Mustang owner in the lobby of a hotel who trapped me in a conversation about how much he had really wanted an 8 but he was too afraid of all the problems he had heard about the rotary engine.

I'm there thinking, "So you bought a Ford, wtf."

He then spent the next ten minutes admiring my car, staring at it, asking questions, and eventually he acknowledged that he had made a stupid mistake, and given a do-over he would have bought an 8.

Don't be that guy. He is annoying to everyone. Love your car and STFU about what you didn't buy.
