Hey Blue350..

I don't care how you are modding your 350. I'll bet most everyone here doesn't care either. We have Rx8's. You don't.

Since your main goal seems to be to annoy, please go away.

 

As long as people post BS, i'll be around

 

...personal request.

I have IKE and 350 on my ingore list, so when you guys (gals?) reply, please dont cut/past their entire crappy post above yours.

Of course your free to do what you wish, just an FYI for those of us who use the ingore button to turn off the agravators.

...so much better without em

 

cut/past??? do you mean PASTE?

I know I will be cutting around and passing these guys everywhere in my 8. :D

 

To me the RX-8 is a fast production car, and you all have to admit most cars that come from the factory arent anywhere near as quick as this car.

I have had quick cars, my civic runs mid 14s (not bad since it ran 17s stock) my Z ran low 13s with no traction and very minimal mods, my dsm ran high 11s and should run low 11s now that Im rebuilding the motor..

I picked the 8 over the 350Z (which I could have gotten and was my #1 choice for a long time esp since I love Z cars) because for one its nice to be able to take more than 1 person somewhere, I also preferred the interior of the 8 over the 350Z, so overall the 8 won my vote.

If I wanted a straight line performer like a lot of these squables about power seem to come down to I would have gotten a 03 mustang cobra.

Why cant we all accept we have nice cars and let it be that? The 350Z is nice, the G35C is nice and so is the RX8

And it still amazes me that even tho the Renesis is "overrated in hp" it still puts out 30more whp than the previous NA rotary was rated at the flywheel, all this power coming from a tiny (look at pictures of the motor its amazing how small it is compared to a piston engine) 1.3L

Undoubtedly, since you're the one posting the BS.

You're the jerk who concludes based on all of 2 real-world 1/4 mi runs that the RX-8 is a 15.2 second car. Blue350Z, you had your *** handed to you about your very selective and biased mis-use of information in this regard already, yet you still trumpet the same old BS - you are the joke here.

As for handling on real-world roads, as milo was referring to - would you like me to post again the Australian 350Z review where they slammed the 350Z for it's terrible real world handling? You know, the article where they gave it a total rank of 3/10? You know, the article where you thought bitumen meant gravel? What a loser. You're the one still spouting the same old BS, and ignoring any proper factual analysis or presentation. We don't need you here nor want you here. Get lost.

Regards,
Gordon

 

I noticed that there is at least one user who is 'community' blocked or maybe an administrator set him on everyone's ingore list. Wonder what it takes to make it that far :-)

Because I never used the 'ignore' button - on anyone, yet on my first day on this forum I found a few messages

'This forum member is blocked. To read the post.. click here'

This thread is losing focus.. I noticed that the guy who started it originally hasn't written anything in quite a while..

this is true!

 

Guys, I don't want to, but I'm about to close this thread. If you don't like what someone posts, ignore them or just don't read it. This thread is going nowhere, and fast.

 

That's self fulfilling if ever I've read it!

 

once again
6speed8 makes good points
there is more to a car than speed and speeding tickets that go with it

 

Elara, was the "going nowhere, and fast" an intended pun. Cute!

 

Once again whatever lets you sleep at night,

And that Aussie review was the biggist joke of a review I have ever seen. I posted it on the 350z forums for a good laugh and I found out I just reposted it, somebody beat me too awhile ago. It was by far the worst attempt ever by a reviewer to get noticed. Also somebody menctioned that it was that guy's LAST review and hasn't wrote 1 word since it.

 

No, the biggest joke is you.

If you had driven on some of the sorts of roads the reviewer was talking about you'd have a clue, but you obviously only support reviews that support your view.

The RX8 has superior handling to the 350z and maintains it's composure very well on bumpy unpredictable reverse camber bends.

Bringing the thread back onto topic. The RX8 is a fast car. It also outshines many cars that would be faster in a straight line through it's balance and grip over poor road surfaces where the road is anything other than a perfect straight line.

Personally, I find going fast in a straight line about as exciting as eating breakfast cereal.

Another thing, anyone with a perchant for low air dams and skirts with lowered and stiffened suspension would find themselves with a hefty repair bill and required dental work if they tried to punt their car round the twisties the "Aussie Journo" is refering to.

Blue 350z, and credibility you may have had has completely gone :D

 

Kev, yes, it was intended Unfortunately, it went nowhere even faster than I thought.

Sorry guys, closing this. Remember what your mom told you when you were little? If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Take a hint.
