RX8 or 350Z???
I've been doing a lot of researching about the 2 cars. I've driven the Z and I like the feel of it. I just recently drove the RX8 yesterday and I think I'm getting the 8 instead now.
Anybody care to share some thoughts about the 8 and the Z? |
Z's have too much power to be any good . Thats why we all chose the 8

And the debate lives on.

Yeah, I figured it'd be hands down on the 8 here -- But, I've been officially cpnverted. Went on my first test drive yesterday, and I'm pretty much sold.

Oh, but to give my opinion on your question.
I have 2 basicly life-long best friends. One of them got an 8, and the other one got a Z. The one with the 8 has had it for almost 2 years I think, and the Z guy has had his for about 8 months or so. I've rode in them both extensively (they are both stingy and dont let anyone drive them) I personaly think the ride in the 8 is hands down the funnest ride i've ever had in any car. The Z may be just as fast or faster, but when it comes down to riding in the cars, the 8 SEEMS faster, and in all honesty that's all I care about, I could care less if my car IS faster, but doesnt feel faster. I wanna be in the car that is fun to drive, fun to ride in, and FEELS like a fun fast ride. my 2 cents. PS: Im about to buy an 8. |
I've driven the hell out of both (07 350Z and 04 RX8)! I'm busy right now but PM me if you want my in depth analysis, bottom line get the RX8!

I test drove both before buying an 8.
The Z has more power, its heavier, and more work to drive. The handling is not as good, but in a straight line, it's way faster then an 8. It also looks like an expensive designer label sneaker of the sort a football or basketball player might wear. In other words, it's not my style. The 8 is nimble, light, and designed to maintain speed through corners rather then powering out of them. Shifting is effortless, and has a wonderful tactile feel that quickly becomes a part of you. You also get the benefit of having a Rotary engine in the 8 (geek points for exotic power plant), and you get back seats. Finally, the 8 looks a hell of a lot nicer then the 350z, and there are fewer 8's on the road, making it a real looker. 9 out of 10 hot dates prefer the look of the 8. :lol2: So really, its down to your personal preference. They are both powerful, high performance machines, and they are about equal on a track as well. |
the door handles on the Z are ugly, get the 8.

I had to get a 4 seater atleast, so there was no other choice but to chose 8 over Z. Best of luck in your decision, let me post this article to bias you :)

my basic evaluation......
if you like casual sex, no strings attached, and is definitly polygamous, hate cudling, get a Z if you like forplay, intimacy, loves your gf/wife, pretty much monogamous(at one time) get the 8 to some it all up, 350Z=fuck RX-8=sex your call |
what?
lol |
don't you get me?
|
but i dont believe i should suffer through monogamy....
|
Hands down 350Z . Nissan Powah!!!

No sun roof, no deal. That was as simple of a choice I've ever had to make.
|
I doubt a Sunroof is a deal maker/breaker for the majority of people of this forum or any forum... except maybe someplace like SunroofClub.com.

It was meant as a little joke anyway. I don't like the roofline. I'd go for the G37 over the 350Z. |
Pluses for the 350Z:
Faster in a straight line. Way more torque Better reliability Better fuel mileage Minus for the 350Z: 300 lbs heaver Cheap interior Choppy ride Only 2 seats Crappy engine sound inside the car Plus for the RX-8: More fun to drive Better ride quality Slightly better breaks More agile 4 seats Better looking and better quality interior Minus for the RX-8: No torque in the engine Poor fuel economy even for a sports car. Engine reliability issues maybe unresolved. Poor service from Mazda |

i enjoy sex mostly. fucking every now and again is good too.
rx8s are like sex. and if you get it on a closed loop, its a night (well.. day) that you will never forget. |
