I have driven both, and I would get the 8. its just so much better to drive!!! also every review out there puts the 8 on top of the Z!! the ONLY thing the Z has is more power, and thats all. The 8 just drives circles around the Z when it comes to handleing!! it also has a MUCH better interior!!! just go to www.rx8club.com they are some good guys and they will tell you some good unbiased info on the 8 vs Z comparo. I know its an 8 site so how can it be unbiased?? just go there you will see

.2 - .7 seconds is a significant difference to me. The Z any day!!

Thats a tough choice, but Id have to say 350Z because my friend has one and it is awesome! Besides if you do a bit of research, the reviews say that the 350Z is the best bargain for that car category. Kinda like how they say the tC is best value for its class.

I dont know where you get your research, but I do alot of reading on this subject and every review I have read has put the 8 on top, and its a better price too!! all i say is, drive them both and decide for yourself. and if you do that, I am pretty sure you will pick the 8!!!

Your asking this question on a message board for Scion owners, you should expect them not to like your choice and trash one or both of the cars your looking at. AGain, who really cares what the mass of retards say, in the end. YOU buy the car, not them.

My girlfriend has a 6spd RX-8 full package($32K) and it's so I drive it almost on a regular basis. It's damn sweet. Need to get the revs up for the power but it great nonetheless. Extra two seats in the back are always great too. Love the rotary engine sound....reminiscent of a fighter jet on the take off strip. Styling will forever be unique ;definitely stands out. Handles like it's on rails and very well balanced. Would be a great track car. Downside is is sucks up gas (17-18mpg) and eats up oil. But you take care of it and it will reward you well.
My close friend has the 350Z sport($35k). That thing is great off the line....decent torque. Styling was unique in the beginning but now every other car looks like it or has improved on it hence the G35 and wannabe g35 ...the TC. Handles great but not nicely or as balanced as the rx8. The brakes are nice as hell as you would expect from a Brembo setup. Get's way better gas mileage and yes ... reliability is not as suspect.
Either way great cars but that RX-8 is definitely a breed of it own and I have to admit I have a bias toward better handling cars beside sports cars should be high maintenance or else go buy a friggin toyota :D

350z.
The RX8 sucks. If you want a real Mazda sportscar, find a used FD (last gen RX7) The one that is nice and light and has twin turbos. Way better in every way than the RX8 midlife crisis 4 door family sports car with no turbos.
