so which one?

 

i like them both but the rx8 is less common id go with the rx8 and turbo it.... expect little response to this question as its posted on a scion board

 

i drove a non moded turbo rx8 on a drift course in a non comp trial and all i can say holy cow i want this car

 

why are you posting here?> GO AWAY

 

Not tC related - moved to All Other Vehicles

 

The rx8 has absolutely no low end power at all, I mean NONe i test drove one , I liked it except you needed at least 4+k to get any power , i also like the looks of the 350z better and cab you say twin turbo?lol. I'd opt for the g35 over both.

 

350 Z

-Z

 

350Z no question. You have a tC, I'm guess you like torque or you would have bought a honda/acura.

Do the same again but on a higher level, 350Z over RX8. Plus the RX8 has horrible blind spots in the back (sit inside and look back). It also has horrible plastics that break inside.

I almost bought an RX-8, but after seeing all that I said forget it.

 

I voted 350z, but I would buy the G35 over that any day.

 

350z

 

what does a RX-8 sound like and do you need to keep the revs high at take off???

 

RX-8, much sexier-unfortunately Rotaries are mean tempered, but the Renesis is supposed to be an improvement.

Plus i dont like the Zs styling as much as i did when it first came out, so if youre going that direction, do what everyone else suggested and go with the G35

 

uhm if it had a turbo kit on it then how is it non-modded??

Rx-8's are horribly slow stock, even with basic bolt-on's it's still slow. For the best bang for the buck (HP wise) i'd go with the Z hands down, that Z motor begs for force induction and takes well to turbo's and S/C's.

 

I'm so into the 350z roadster!!!

 

i like the looks of the RX-8
however i like the performance of the 350z much better,
however i agree w/ everyone else and go w/ the G35

 

rx8 is the hotest, 350 is ok i guess, but ill follow the crowd and get the oh so sexy G to the 35

 

Of course if you go for the RX8 then you have to deal with the Mazda dealers.

 

I was recently in this same situation... I decided on the Rx8.. It's alot more unique, the interior is great.. insurance is less, and on average, the car costs 5k-7k cheaper than the 350z... BUT... I decided not to buy the Rx-8 after researching on their message board, rx8club.com... It appears that the average gas mileage they are getting with the car is about 14mpg... Ultra-rare for someone to be getting 19, few 17s... lots of 14-15 and lots of 11-13 mpg reported... Go and check it out for yourself...

I decided to buy neither... Right now relying on an old toyo celica until I can decide on a new car ;P

NOTE: Also, on the speed aspect.. yes, the 350z will FEEL alot faster, but as far as I've seen on 1/4 mile times, it only runs .2-.7 (depending on which magazine you are looking at) faster than the rx8

 

eh, i just dont trust the quality of mazdas

 

^^^ same
get the 350z
