So... how bout them ASU cheerleaders?!

anywho, I don't like the Z much, mostly cosmetics, and the hp doesn't match up to the feel and fun that you leave behind in your 8.......however, the GTR on the other hand, although some of it's looks are like the Z, the sheer performance is a omgwtfbbq I will take it

considering i loved my rx8 when i had it, I feel i have a much less biased opinion then either a Z owner or a 8 owner. The rx8 has some great things about it but seriously the Z is a far superior car, the new version of the VQ35HR engine is very power out of the box. Having driven both cars at VIR and Poconos, my first time in the Z beat my best time in the 8. Also, on the strip, I ran a 13.4@105 with the Z and best time with the 8 was an unimpressive 14.7 ..... I love the 8 but over the years people have realized they are not what they thought they were when they came out (a decent replacement for the rx7). The Z has been improved alot in the 07/08 years. This is not the same car that you all have been "stuck behind on the twisties".... BS. The only thing the 8 (anymore) had over the Z was backseats and interior styling.... Sorry if those were the things I was interested in I would have bought a BMW 3 series... Make sure you take note that the dyno plot I posted was bone STOCK.... The greddy kitted 8's only make 20 ish HP more.... When the exhaust goes on and gets tuned up I will have a NA Daily driver Z with 0 issues. end rant/ Any local 8 owners want to experience the darkside PM me and we can meet somewhere and hit some twisties.

who wouldnt want a GT-R... It out performs cars 3-4 times its MSRP. Keep your ear to theground for the V spec.... I might fndmyself back in a RX in the future if mazda goes through with the go kart like RX7 they are planning on building.

my friend's GF has a white 350Z base model 08

I drove it once, and there are alot of stuff I like, like full throttling and seeing the speedo climb (back to analog speedo again) and the insane torque

however, I hate the feel, it sucks,

I understand your argument dude, however, we are a different kind of people than you, you want sheer performance, you should have never bought the rx8 in the first place

I am one of those people who are now mature to the point that we value more than sheer performance from a car

tajabaho1

dude, don't, any local 8 owners around you will probably make you wreck your Z

don't do it

cR@zY e1GhT

typical response from rx8, civic, GTi, DSM eclipse ect owner. 100+ hp at the wheels more, similar handling characteristics= Better car (performance wise)... Dont get butt hurt over it... Do some research on the new Z.

what do you expect??? 2 door+ 2seater+ 3.5liter= more power than a 4door+ 4seater+ 1.3 liter....

tajabaho1

^ I think we all know it's capabilities cus afterall, we are a car enthusiast forum

like I said, this argument can go on forever, but in the end, I'd say it caters to a different kind of people than the RX8, you did the right thing on going with a Z, cus seeing your attitude, I highly doubt you would e remotely happy in the 8

just don't die doing something stupid like so many other Z and G35 drivers

cR@zY e1GhT

Yeah because the 8 handles sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better then the Z. Watch professional drivers handle the cars and they performance very similar in the twisties (03-06 Z), now go look up some vids of the nismo or 07/08 Z driven by professional drivers and you will see that the 8 is NOOOOOOO match for the Z anymore on any playing field... BTW I can out drive the standard 8 driver to begin with due to the fact that I actually track my car instead of bench racing... I ll meet you anywhere in NJ or PA, you pick the track/road/whatever and we will see how quickly I crash my car.... BWAHAHAHA. Good one. RX8 handling is more responsive but not so much more that I cant get similar results out of the Z and then the Z just owns the 8 coming out of the apex... Put up or shut up.

tajabaho1

I'm in CA -_-

I'm merely judging by your highschool attitude

you will probably wreck it with or without our help

make sure you get insurance yo!

My friend got a Z shortly before I got my 8 and we've driven both each others cars and followed each other on several road trips, playing around with are cars in various circumstances. There is not that much difference performance-wise in real world driving between these two cars for the HUGE difference in power and torque you get between the two cars. I have respect for either car but and we know the strengths and weaknesses of both cars. I don't know your driving experience (sounds very limited based on your posts) but I'm willing to bet many 8 drivers would be well beyond your *** on the "twisties" based on driving skill alone regardless of the power difference.

Don't know why your on an 8 forum trying to sell us a Z but at least it's sort of entertaining and fits in perfectly with this joke-of-a-thread.

JRichter

You can do better than that. Spit some more **** out so we can finally get this locked...

BTW, you got the DSM part right...

tajabaho1

^ actually, he came in here to make himself feel better

turns out he got pissed

cR@zY e1GhT

No you are an RX8/Rotary enthusiast forum...I post a dyno sheet of my car and get flamed (as expected). Same would happen if I dropped my Z for a Vette z06 and posted my dyno slip on my350z.com. I was just sharing dyno proven numbers of a car that gets compared frequently with the 8 with my old community and I wasnt received to well.

tajabaho1

lol, no worries I have seen them before

you didn't get flamed for the p #s, you got flamed for being a *****

cR@zY e1GhT

came in here to post actual, factual numbers and a mostly none biased opinion. i didnt get mad, I was just responding to the flamers.....

JRichter

WTF? lol. Reread your exact post in which you included your dyno and you will see almost every word of yours is a complete flame regardless of the dyno number attatchment.

cR@zY e1GhT

i am a ***** for defending myself... re- read the last 2 pages and please show me where I was a ***** and I will gladly post an apology... *waiting*

people just get over it!! if our cars didnt come 4 door 4seater, only 2 door 2 seater, the 8 would kick everyones ****, but it didnt, so in that sense we are all unique, just be glad our cars can keep up most of the time..

this thread is so weak. ive seen more productive arguments over chunky or creamy peanut butter

JRichter

cR@zY e1GhT, this thread is a known joke to begin with (I can't remember how old it is). Start a new one to seriously discuss your dyno numbers, your experiences with the 8 and now the Z and you will get a better response.

tajabaho1

I can't multi-quote, or quote worth a **** for that matter

will someone do it for me?

crazy eight, if you didn't mean it, then its all good

however, I must say you did really come out as a ***** high schooler

and I can count almost to 50 the number of 350Z when I was in highschool in our parking lot.

cR@zY e1GhT

Truth. I guess I ll go crash my car since its soooo bad and I am in high school. Thats appartently sterotypes everyone with a Z... *Goes off to treat acne and double check insurance policy*

tajabaho1

I know! just do it dude, crash it, get the GT-R!!!

jk jk, well laters

now back to bashing 350z

where were we?
