RX-8 PZ special edition...

I was just on wikipedia earlier and spotted the PZ special edition of the 8... I have never heard of the PZ before, and couldn't find a single thing about them on the forum. It said there were 800 made, so I was wondering if we had any members with one... Those things IMO are the best looking Series I... Here's some pics...

Nice looking 8. I haven't kept track since I'm still a newbie, so this particular version is news to me as well.

Thank you for sharing.

I'm not a fan of the wheels or the spoiler, but besides that it looks good.

That's sharp as hell. I'd take that over a Zed any day.

The 350z is an automotive fetus aborted before having the opportunity to develop into just another G35.

I've actually always been a fan of the Nissan Z cars. All of them... I almost bought a 300zx a few years back when I was in the market for a cheap sports car.... Friend of mine used to have a 350 that was fun to drive and now has a 370 that is reallllly fun to drive... But even though I like the Zs, I like 8s better. Obviously, since if I didn't I would probably have a 350 right now instead of my 8 haha...

And the PZ doesn't just have exterior changes.... I'm pretty sure its got Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs... And the wheels are made by OZ
