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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

Cool 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....
