Traded my 95 Z28 in on my new RX8. Even with over 100k the car was tight. No rattles. Of couse the subframe connectors helped.
And yea, the LT1 was fast in its day. But a friend in a 2001 Vette would only be one length back at the quater mile. And he was bone stock (paper filter, etc.) while my car had a cam, headers, minor bolt-ons, etc.

I know that Ford has their hands in about 6 other car companies, it would not surprise me if GM was the same way. And the Ford fanboy has left the building so we are safe for at least 4 hours...hopefully 60 hours.

free gas card,....I wish
ProCharger GT: My first real car was an 88 Mustang GT. Had a blast. Right out of college and burning rubber. So,...I have a soft spot for mustangs too.
Could have traded the Z28 on a new GT. I really like them. But I wanted a light, nimble kind of car. The RX8 was it.

Fact :
Ford people will do anything to make themselves feel a little better about purchasing a POS.
I will admit - Ford has one thing over EVERY other car company ; they have the best salesmen. You know how tough it is to sell a ford? Those salesmen are pros!!!
FACT : Stand alone ford stores sell better than automall ford stores.
Why? you ask
Cuz who is gonna buy a ford when there is a toyota dealership across the street?

Whatever...request Ford's annual report and they have a whole section most every year just dedicated to their stake in Mazda.
The year the RX-8 was available to the public Ford openly bragged in the annual report with regards to the chassis and the Renesis.

FORD.COM provides links for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Volvo, Jaguar, & Land Rover
GM.COM provides links for Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, GMC, Saturn, Hummer, Saab, Cadilliac, & (view more brands)
Second list (view more brands) provides links for Holden, Opal, Vauxhall, & Saab
Since Saab is in both lists I guess GM is really pushing them at the moment
