I like the Z too, just too small for my lifestyle. Both the 8 and the Z are hurt badly with the auto though, hence my comment.

That car looks really nice.

+1 on the too small for my lifestyle, plus there are very few cars I would trade my 8 for anyways.

Good luck with the Z!

350z? i hate everything about that car. I bet it feels like a rocket compared to your AUTO 8 though.

Nice car, best of luck with her. I hope you realized your lesson with ur auto 8 and bought a manual Z. Either way, it will be a lot of fun.

Both the 8 and the Z are hurt badl

I disagee the 350Z is not as confided as the RX-8 is in automatic.

Because the Z car performance is not based on high revs, its Automatic transmision doesn't suck the life out of the car.

Is it as fast as the 6spd probably not, does it give you as much control? no.

Will the AT Z-car fly from a standstill YES, Will it throw up back in the seat with the AT, Yes!! Will it burn the rear tires from a standstill, as long as you can afford new tires!! Will it do 150+mphs I don't know, but it will do 145mph quickly the radar detector went off before I could do 150mph, I had plenty of pedal left. Will you feel it lacks in power not if you haven't just got Out of a Corvette, 911 turbo, Lambo or Ferriari. Its a different world with Z-car in AT then it is with the 8.

The Z-car in both Trans performs at all rpms levels, not talking what I think, its what I know, still just my opinion. The Rx-8 is a fine automobile but with a AT its life is sucked out, this is not So with the Z-car.

You've had both not many can say that.
