All in good fun. I just happen to be one of those guys with a foot in both of those clubs

I think they'd be pretty evenly matched. The rx8 may be lighter, but the vette has MUCH wider tires. Both are perfectly capable of trying to tear your face off sideways

Guess what? BHR has a recipe for that, too, and two cars that will prove it. One is tuned and the other is on it's way

^ Actually that is kinda the benchmark for my turbo setup. I'll be happy when my car feels quicker than my Vette was stock. ITs already there btw

IMO... I'VE SPANK SOME 350z's with just a 1.5 LSD and short shifter!!
JUST PLAYED WITH A "HOOKED-UP" Z and I WAS ONLY 2 CARS AWAY FROM THE GET GO...
"Z's" SUCK ON HANDLING COMPARED TO AN "8"!!

COULD'VE BEEN TO DRIVER ERROR?? IDK... BUT GUESS I JUST BEEN HAVING GOOD LUCK!! LoL!!
ONCE THE TURBO AND NITROUS GO IN, I WANNA TRY MY UNCLE'S 11 SECOND STANG...
HOPE I CAN BEAT THAT??? haha!!

the 350/370z's just seem less civilized than the 8, imo...

they may get from point a to point be faster than us, but we have way more fun getting there...

we still have more fun! the 8's smooth shifting, solid chassis, and responsive road-to-car-to-driver response is really great. not to mention the sweet sound of the rotary engine & exhaust.
