Have fun with your cheap interior and horrible weight distribution. Oh yeah 350Z's have their fair share of problems i.e. engine burns oil (at 15000 miles), transmission failure, front tires have alignment issuses, bad clutches so have fun she-man.

FAILED...

Motor Trend did two separate arcticles on the best handling/ track cars and both times the RX8 was in contension; where was the Z? Almost all of the major car magazines compare the RX8 to the best names in performance cars from all over the world, I never see the 350Z in those comparisons.....

You will be able to go 0-60 a couple of milliseconds faster than me...Good job.

On the other hand though, the Z can handle just as well as the 8 in terms of 'g's and slalom speeds. The RX8 ranked so high in that competition for drivers feel. Either way its impressive, but the Z is no slouch around corners either, it just understeers and is too damn stiff.

I'm sure ULLOSE has some comments about whether a Z can really hang with an 8 in the twisties.
