Upcoming MotorWeek To Compare RX-8 & 350Z
 

The upcoming Saturday March 6 MotorWeek show will feature a comparison of the 2004 RX-8 and 2004 350Z. For a TV station near you, see this list.

Here's their written review of the RX-8 from a previous show.

Thanks

Ditto, I'll have it recorded on Tivo :)

Well... I have ReplayTV but it's much of the same thing.

If history repeats itself, we already know who the favorite will be.

lol true :D

FYI ... MotorWeek's list of upcoming shows has been updated for March here.

Mazda3 will be tested on March 19th.

Everyone got their VCRs, ReplayTVs, TiVos programmed for the RX-8 / 350Z comparison?:)

Which one will they pick? It should be a good show.

They did mention this past Saturday that the track times for the Honda 2000 being shown were better than those of both the RX-8 and 350Z being tested.

Thanks for the tip!

The S2k should be better... still has great power, plus it's a LOT lighter than both the other cars.

I still think a RX-8 and G35C would be a better comparo due to 4 seats.

You're all welcome ..... Last call :) Hope it's a great show.

Looking fiorward to seeing this show -- won't catch it in this area until Monday night, however:(

already has VCR set for recording! (yes i still live in the 20th century :p )

lol, my TV is made of wood, it doesnt even have TV-in and with a speaker on the right handside. it doesn't come with a remote too.. please post them up later u have time:D
thank you

P.s. seems the 350Z/G35c VS RX8 will never end..

So I'm not the only one :D. /rx8cited

Just watched it... the RX-8 won! That's right, we won another comparo.

This is like winning the superbowl! Again.

Just think what the 8 could do with Canzoomers Stage 1 and some Racing Beat sway bars.

Is there any way to get a replay of this? Did anyone record it with the ability to make it available for those that did not see it?

Show Transcript
 

Here's the transcript of the show for your reading pleasure. /rx8cited

I might be able to post it for you if you can break it down in size. I have several sites with massive bandwidth limits and high speed connections.

Let me know.

Yeah, I really want to see that.

For anyone who missed it... it's on SpeedChannel tonight at 9:30 Eastern. :D
Thank God for cable... :D

PS: Did you check out the trans/diff socket sizes for me while you changed you oil?

I am currently hosting the video for download. Depending on the bandwidth usage, I'll leave it up all weekend.
Here's the link:Please do not play it from the site! Right click and save as.

Motorweek Video

If I have to pull it down and switch hosts, I will, but it should be available there all weekend.

Ajax

I just downloaded the file and tried to play it with Windows Media Player. I'm getting "WPM cannot play the file because it is damaged or corrupted"? Is it just me getting this?

Road & Track....
 

Did anyone catch the R&T 10 best list?

They had a bit from Jay Leno, his two favorites were the Porsche and the '8, he said obviously he preferred the Porsche, but with $70,000 difference, his 'real world' choice would be the RX-8.

"Suppose the Porsche is Cindy Crawford....and suppose the '8 is like, a girl who looks just like her, and works at the local QuickMart.....realistically I'm going with the Mazda!"

Priceless....
