I guess even "sloppy" cars can go fast.

8 of the top 9 places go to the RX-8. The top 350Z was in 10th place.
Must not have been a fair race.

The 350Z is beautiful, no doubt there. But the car is crude, not really a sportscar, but more of a muscle car. Its the RX-8's most direct rival. From experience , these car are pretty well match, really a matter of the best driver.

I like my 8, I like 350z
and hey, I like F50 ~~~
I dont see any point of bashing other cars every damn day.
While I understand that everyone has their love & hate. For example, me, I hate Civic, All Civic, reason? Well, I mean their style is alright but maybe I should say, I like Civic, but I hate almost ALL Civic owners. They're so proud of their cars and keep on doing dangerous **** on the road. From time to time I see them.
Just a matter of taste.

i agree on the highway its a pretty fair comparison, you can walk stock 350z on the highway fine but you'll never beat a stock for stock 6mt 350Z with a competent driver from a dig.
solution-get boosted. :D

whats a dig?
And I believe stock/stock on the track the 350z and RX-8 are close to equal. RX-8 has slightly more refined handling and is about 300lbs~ lighter.
The 350z is defintely a cool car though. But I like how the RX-8 is designed much more ^^

The thing that cracks me up about 350z owners is that they go on and on and on about how their car is SO fast and has SO much torque and they can smoke anything and only care about "performance," but given what they payed for a so-called track model, they probably could have found a deal on a new c5 for about the same money which would absolute rape the Z.

Back on topic, I think kill stories are absolutely stupid unless it happens on the track or at an autox. Furthermore, anyone on this board who owns an RX-8 probably could have afforded a 350Z. So whats the point of them bashing us or us bashing them? In my world, what car you have doesn't matter (unless you are in the M5, Porsche 911 world), its the driver that matters. Great you can put your car in drive or first gear and mash the accelerator, congratulations. Now can you handle that car on turn 3 @ NHIS? I've got video of 3 "faster" cars than the RX-8 wrecking there. Are they faster? Not by my stopwatch. Would they be faster with a better driver? Possibly.

I personally think people who bash other cars are insecure, they want to constantly give them selves reasons to justify their purchase by putting down other cars in the same price range. these people lead bitter lives and i feel sorry for them.

BAH! Drag racing sucks. So BORING.
And I agree about those kill stories. Why is it that all those forums such as S2Ks, 350Z's, SRT-4, etc. etc. forums have an entire board dedicated to kills?
I think it just flat out shows immaturity. It's practically TAUNTING the other car. Oh well, boys will be boys. -.-
And I also agree taht everyone who got the 8 could have afforded a Z. ^^

ppl thought their 350z is fast? Are they really faster ?
well I think my 8 is fast. Am I really faster ?
Its just own personal opinion. and it has nothing to do with real life.
I mean, yeah sure, 350z has the extra horse and torque.
The 8 has 2 extra seat, a at least USABLE back trunk.
Im not going to bash anybody, since its just gonna pull me down to the same kiddie level that they all are currently in.
Its just funny that, Dont u guys notice that over at the 350 forum, people hardly admitted that they got owned by anybody else. I seriously dont think 350z can beat everyone on the streets. especially those kiddie just got their licenses when they're 18 who just beg their daddy to get him an "automatic" Z (meaning, no skills in driving at all)
