I don't know why all of ya'll are taking this to heart. I'm not saying anything bad about your cars. I'm just saying the truth about the two 8's I test drove. I never said they were bad cars just didn't have the power I thought it would. I understand that there is 9K rpm's to work with but it was still slow to me. Also to say that these cars pull harder than a 13 sec car is a complete lie. The first 8 I test drove was an auto cuz my g/f didn't want an manual. The 2nd one was a manual. The G35 is a way better car to drive than the 8 IMO say don't take it to heart.
Take your *faster* G35 to the track and prove us all wrong.
oh yeah, why r u still here anyway? shouldnt you be hanging out around the nubby g35 forums ?

We're not taking it to heart. We're instead offering instead our heartfelt congratulations on your new purchase of your Infinity, because clearly you are not a person for the RX-8 and that we're certain that your new friends at the G35 site will hugely appreciate your superior intellect and rapier wit. Have a good life. Bye. See ya ... never again.

the 8 is not for the lazy drivers. a family sedan with a big engine is just that. Still a family sedan. It makes about the same sense that a Camry Sport great driver's car. Do not confuse fast on a straight line vs. what a true driver's car is. There are lots of fast machine.... like that Jet Truck but it is no way a driver's car. The G35 so suits you....

It was an AUTO!!! No clutch............... The 2nd one was a Manual. She wasn't looking for a car to take to the track, she needed a car that could be used as a DD & that had power that could be used on the street. Plus there are not very many turns were we live. Your right the 8 is not for lazy drivers it is for people that want a car that looks & handles good but with no power.

what power do you need on the street? Does she want to race on the street?

Does have a remarkable similarity to the blue oval group of drivers too.

As mentioned earlier, the auto is slower and less hp. But I will cover my full opinion on what he said in a second...
The G35 hardly has more power... noticeable, but unless you're racing, the 8 should have more than enough for street use. I think you bought this car more on what you wanted than your girlfriend and you just arent admitting it.

I would of rather her have gotten the 8 cuz it was like 4K cheaper. Even though it looked good, better than the G IMO she still was not happy with the 8. And that's the Truth!!! On the other hand, I wouldn't mind finding a wrecked one for my self & fixing it back up just so that I could slap on a sweet *** Turbo.

this is so sad. They are not even the same class. the G35 is a sedan while the 8 is a sports car. If the 350Z lost to the 8 in all the professional comparos, there are nothing left to prove. What else? race a Pontiac G6? Let it go guys. For the 8 owners here we have different driving values. We value taking the car to the tracks and salivate when we see
while the G crowds go nuts at traffic lights.

mm, this is not good. hahaha, poor guy. i always like g35 coupe, but the way i see it is that g35 is more luxury car for me and sporty (it will cost a lot to fix), and rx8 is a plain sport car. it's hard to compare both of them , but performance wise, it depends on the person what they want from the car. i respect the decision that you make about g35, and hopefully you can enjoy your ride with the new infinity. you should know that people in this forum, most of them have their rx8 modified, so you can't say that rx8 doesn't have power. o well, hopefully you enjoy your new ride.
