RX-8 PZ special edition...

I was just on wikipedia earlier and spotted the PZ special edition of the 8... I have never heard of the PZ before, and couldn't find a single thing about them on the forum. It said there were 800 made, so I was wondering if we had any members with one... Those things IMO are the best looking Series I... Here's some pics...

Yeah, but those wheels make up for it!

Nice looking 8. I haven't kept track since I'm still a newbie, so this particular version is news to me as well.

Thank you for sharing.

I'm not a fan of the wheels or the spoiler, but besides that it looks good.

That's sharp as hell. I'd take that over a Zed any day.

The 350z is an automotive fetus aborted before having the opportunity to develop into just another G35.

I've actually always been a fan of the Nissan Z cars. All of them... I almost bought a 300zx a few years back when I was in the market for a cheap sports car.... Friend of mine used to have a 350 that was fun to drive and now has a 370 that is reallllly fun to drive... But even though I like the Zs, I like 8s better. Obviously, since if I didn't I would probably have a 350 right now instead of my 8 haha...

And the PZ doesn't just have exterior changes.... I'm pretty sure its got Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs... And the wheels are made by OZ
