"Motor" Mag: RX8 vs R32 vs 147GTA
Australia's respected "Motor " magazine's July issue features this interesting comparison. Conclusion:
" ... the smart money still stays Mazda RX-8. Point blank.
It's got the best and purest chassis here. And in spite of the R32's four wheel drive, it still gets its power down better and carries more mid-corner speed, while the Alfa is nowhere near the picture on either criteria....
...Mazda deserves to sell every one it can land here. It's the best of both worlds, and proves that properly engineered rear-wheel-drive is still exquisite and fast and can carry people effectively."
About sums it up, eh?
Here's the magazine website, but unfortunately you will only find this test in the print version:
