Ok, I might have to retract my previous statement. With that Xede ECU, coilovers, light/wider 19s, and some weight reduction....... I would say $4000 puts this car almost into RS4 range (ok, maybe a little stretch). Lets take the other cars in the $50k range..... nothing much close.

My wife and I were talking about the 335i the other day. Someone around here has a dark blue one and I commented about how I didn't like the pictures of the coupe but in person it's really beautiful.

I've been throwing around the idea of getting a new car next year and while I've liked the look and the performance numbers of the 3 series (specifically M3 and now the 335i), I'm not sure I'm willing to shell out that kind of money for one. Right now I'm thinking about keeping the 8 until it's paid off and then buying a second car a couple of years from now. Hopefully by then RP will have the Axial Flow Supercharger ready for market and I can make the 8 my weekend toy.

If I decide to sell the 8 next year and get something else, the 335i is going to be way up on the list. I like the 07 G35 sedan, but the 08 coupe looks even nicer. There's always the MS3 - that's the least expensive option, but tons of fun to drive, I bet. All of this could change if Mazda suddenly announced some new RX-Hotness.
Too many gorram choices.

Isnt the Axial Flow coming out soon? Keep the 8, and see if Mazda would release another rotary sports car in the near future, and get that! =D

I have every confidence that he will have one available soon, but until there's a "Buy It Now" link on Richard's website, I'm not going to get too excited.

Unless Mazda comes out with a new rotary hotness that blows my socks off, the 8 will probably be my last rotary car. Not that I'm ready to jump ship yet (though it might seem that way), I'm just keeping my options open.
