m3 = old stig(slower)
rx-8=new stig
350z-new stick
=
m3 not same speed as both car, a bit faster

personally i would choose 350z, unless u are looking at a car u can carry ppl

straight line speed u hae to go with 350z,, and handling is about the same, rx-8 a little more advantrage 2 it

but i think rx-8 looks absoulty SICKKKK with the body kit

personally, im a fan of the 350z's looks. the RX-7 is awsome too. but ide take an orange, or black Z.
other then that, mabey a holden monaro if you can afford it

Even though I'm not a big fan of rotary but when I drove my friend's RX-8, I had fun though revving it to 9000RPM. The engine screamed pretty aggressively.

i don't think that the rotary engine has any more problems of reliability....but has problems with the fuel....it consums a lot of benzin.....for me a long testdrive would solve your problem...the RX-8 is more practical and it has the looks...wait untill they make a turbo version and by that...

NYCHonda · 02-09-2004, 05:23 PM

Yea, I heard that Mazda solve that reliability problem with their rotary by making it to be a naturally aspirated instead of turbocharged like the previous RX-7. Rotary engine always consume a lot of gasoline though. It's been like that ever since the beginning.

kteo2003 · 02-09-2004, 05:30 PM

the whole project with the rotary was to be abbandonned but it didn't....althought the engineers do say to check the oils every5000km...and for giving an example in highways it consumes more of 20l/100km>.... :shock:

Myself,I would get a Holden Monaro CV8 and spend the rest on modding.I would take the RX8.Only because its more than a sports car.

pimrusis · 02-09-2004, 06:28 PM

If they offer the Chrysler Crossfire in your country, get that. It just looks so cool.

PATo355 · 02-09-2004, 06:29 PM

Get the 350z if you prefer the looks , if not get the RX8 wich has better handling and an amazing engine

Skyline DUHHHH

oldsnail · 02-09-2004, 09:03 PM

i would choose RX8.

i dont like the idea of nissan using the 35VQ engine for most of its line up. the engine of the Z is just a tweaked altima, maxima, pathfinder or whatever u like to call it, with great body aerodynamics and 2 seats..

but i think the RX8 is more original even it has less power..

crazidude · 02-09-2004, 09:18 PM

If I wanted uniqueness and practicallity I would pick the RX-8, but for just plain fun I'd take the 350. How much does an Evo 8 cost there? I think they're similar in price aren't they?

NYCHonda · 02-09-2004, 10:08 PM

Oh, I'll take the RX-8 or 350Z over the Evo 8. Don't get me wrong, the Evo 8 is pretty fast car, if not, it's faster than the RX-8 or the 350Z but it's a sedan. I still love the look of a sports car. I much rather have a luxury sedan than a sports sedan. Another thing I don't like about the Evo 8, it's an awd. I'm not a big fan of awd. I just don't like the way the awd handle on corner for some reason. Well, this is just my personal opinion though.
