Why are 90% of replies people saying "try searching"? What give a sh*t? If your on this forum, you obviously have nothing better to do at the moment, so just answer the f*cking question!
By the way, I like the Z's, but I will choose my 8 any day; handling trumps.

Now personnally if the RX-8 had a 3 rotor engine then there would be no comparison.
From his statement above seems like you like the RX-8 if thats what you want, iget it. Its a fine Sports Car and as you can see by the Car & Driver final results it gets awesome reviews. You felt that the RX-8 was fast enough and handles great. I agree with you, buy what your heart leads you to.
For the world I can't see how some people think the Z-car is ugly or that the RX-8 is fugly, thats both best features is the exterior design. That what so great about the world the difference in likes. The interior is were the Rx-8 gets the go ahead, even in the review it beat out the Audi (please). Its well done, but its not that well done. Excuse me for voice my dislike for bias.
But I'm not hard to please I think the Z-car spartan interior looks good, it need help but it does look aircraft like.
Anyway let your heart guide you, that inner feeling is what did me in, like a woman with big legs.
Let me tell you I test drove several cars the Cadillac STS, Lincoln LS, Lexus I350, ES300, Gs350, Accura LS, TL, Altima, Maxima, Sentra, Chyrsler 300c, 300, CLK 380 Benze, BMW 325, 525, v6 Honda Accord, Civic si, Porsche Boxster, Mazda S6, S3,, MX-5, Rx-8, 350z and V6 Camry. Alot of them Practical smart, quailty made sensible smooth riding, fast, good handling cars with great resale value. I bought the car that made me smile the most, and I'm still kicking myself ever since,
but loving it. Now I had to fix my old jeep because I like my SC way too much to ever think of driving it in the snow. If you buying a Sport Car its not going to be a smart decision, it going to be a passionate one. Like dating a pretty woman.
Like my mother told me, Pretty can't pay any bills. Words of warning.

Exactly! Everyone at work gives me **** for having a sports car that only has 238 horses. They all say, "Well my Titan has 300 some horses, so its could beat your car in a 1/4 mile." People are stupid. Want a car thats fast in street racing? Buy a double-wide trailer and a Mustang GT. FACE!

The Lotus elise has 240hp or so still does 5.1 sec 0-60mph and still handles great, of course it cost $30k more then a Rx-8. I think it weighs 2100lbs and fast.
People bother me about having mid life crisis, so what I like young women and Sports Cars. Really women period. It don't bother me at all, if I wanted a Titan or SUV I could have bought one, if it made me smile like my SC!!! I would have.

Buy the RX-8. Then FI it with a supercharger or turbo. With an FI RX-8 you would not even think about the 350Z.
Going 3 rotor is only for those with serious cash and willing to put in serious effort and time to see the project completed.
However, I do hope Mazda gets a clue, redesigns a 3 rotor and releases that by 2010 under a new RX.
