Id take an 8 in just about every categorie over the Z except reliabilty. Just to clarify so everyone understands that Im not bashing 8's.

 

if it helps. the 03 04 zs had motor and major alignment / tire problems..

haha, I remember their original staggered setup scorching through tires in 5,000 miles.

 

03's had major suspension problems and the 04's had a recall on the engine (I forgot exactly what it was for) but if it wasnt performed, your Z could catch on fire! All cars have their issues Ive just noticed more reliabilty in the VQ35 than the rotary. But the rotary still has alot of progress to be made and alot of bugs to iron out and Im excited to see the what the future for RX's holds
