BTW this was the only left hand driver there! I had to learn how to drive and shift on the other side! Pretty wild!
Your 3-rotor looks BAAAADDDD....

Is the pillar in the way?
In the above posted picture if the back door were closed would it interfere with line of sight? I'm 6'3" and usually all my seats are all the way back. If the back door is closed can you see out to the left? Thanks

Thanks, I like to think it is BAAADDDD. But I won't get rid of the 3 rotor to get an RX-8 though. It all depends on what the new RX-7 looks like. (Oops did I say that?)

inside. A big turnoff in my opinion compared to how nice the RX-8 looks in side. The RX-8 looks much more expensive inside than the 350z. I am a true rotorhead so I would pick the RX-8.

Great pics! :D
Is the RX-8 with a spoiler in the titanium color? How light/dark is this paint? (More grey or silver?)
Have seen many pictures of the titanium but never any descriptions of the color other than "it looks great".
The silver one in your pics looks so light, almost white?

Hey, how does the headroom in the RX-8 compare to an FD? Is it the same, or more? I'm 6' tall, and I have plenty of headroom in my R2, even with a helmet.
If I order an RX-8, I want a sunroof, but I'm worried that there won't be enough room when I'm wearing a helmet....

I agree, it gives it a much better look and finish. The "ribs" make it look cheap; and made it feel like vinyl. A good reason to wait and see what the final cars look like, but I hope they come rib less – she don’t need no extra pleasure.
