Thumbs down

I hate the Z. I could write a book on the many dislikes about the car I have.

I like the RX-8. But I like the Z also. I would probably have considered another 8 if they had revised the model significantly - but in its current form, it would seem like I was driving the same car........ I needed a change.
Bought a Z roadster. Will take delivery in a couple of weeks. It should be a fun ride for a few of years.
There were other cars that I looked at, but the Z had a decent value proposition... I don't understand why people don't like the Z. It's a perfectly decent car.

Nothing wrong with the Z, it just gets constantly compared to the 8 on here and it usually turns into a flame fest.

Roadster is just a euphemism for "convertible"

BTW stock for stock Z beats 8 in the twisties all day (07+ Z's)... Sorry to burst bubbles, rx8 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay underpowered...Closee thread.

hmmm 13 posts and you've taught us all a lesson alrighty, we should all go cry in a corner now that the Z is the bestest car in the world and has dyno sheets to prove it!
man ohhh man, having my bubble burst is so harsh, reminds me of the time I was following some z car club members on Lime Creek road here in Austin (very twisty road, look it up if you know how) and when we got to the end of it the guy I was following in a 350z was apologizing for slowing me down

your post cracks me up, next time my self esteem takes a hit I'll have to refer to this thread
