I Bought A Car......

but, sorry to say, it wasnt the RX-8. i finally decided to go ahead with the Nissan 350Z instead. i really do love the looks of the RX-8, but that rotary engine was really what ultimately scared me away.

How dare you come in here and start a thread just to say you bought a 350z instead of an RX8 and that you hate the rotary engine? The nerve of some people...

I can sleep at night now. I was wondering what you decided on. Congrats on the car, sorry for your loss.

why would a rotary engine scare you? you know they're the most reliable engines on the planet right....

wouldn't you just love to switch gears in a piston at redline, having the tensioner float for a split second due to the timing belt slaping against it, then all of a sudden your cam gears slip a tooth or two causing your pistons to slam into the valves.

There are too many failure points on a piston engine in my eyes.

You can't really go wrong with either car, they're both really great cars.
I'm glad that you bought a 350Z and posted on this board because there are so many idiots here who thinks that the RX-8 is the ultimate ride created by God himself.
I hope you have fun with your new ride.

I bought the RX8 because of the rotary engine. Have fun with the Z and ride with the herd. It's safer that way.

After reading this thread and OP's other threads... I'm more convinced that I'd rather have an 8 than a Z

Wow, am I the only person with a positive comment on this thread? So much negativity... the RX-8 Community was never like this before... I'm a bit disappointed.

I have driven a Z many miles on very different types of roads. The Z seems to be favored by most people probably because of its detached feel. It makes you think you are going faster than you are, giving you the rush you want in a sports car. Don't get me wrong . . .great car, decent mileage, fun to drive . . . but

Problem is everybody has one. So on every street corner, at every signal, and all over the freeway you see tons of them.

I prefer a more unique car that has a much better feel. A car that was designed from the ground up to be a sports car centered around a very cool little engine. Not a sedan chassis with a truck motor

We're not hating cuz he bought a Z. We're hating cuz he came in here trying to **** on us...lol...if we don't chase him away right now..pretty soon...he's going to make a threat saying how much he likes his Z..blah blah..yada yada......

Shouldn't he be on 350Z club talking about how happy he is and stuff..??

Why waste time on here when you don't like and don't own a RX8??

In what way was he rubbing it in? He's a member on the board, stated that he bought a 350Z, and supplied a reason why he went with it.

It wouldn't have been so bad if he wouldn't have insulted the rotary engine or bought the 8's biggest rival (arguably).

Because he is just like most other Z or Stang owners out there, is just a cry for attention. He knew he wouldnt get a warm response to this thread, so i have no sympathy for him or his decision. Mods should just close and delete this thread as it is useless/pointless.
