Dont have much time to post this, but I got the new Car+Driver, and they tested a RX-8 versus a SVT Cobra, and a G35 coupe, it was the slowest but it did beat out the G35 by 1 point to win. They tested a $28000 version with cloth interior.

dunno, Road and Track also tested one this month, got that issue in the mail

today, and they compared it to a G35 as well, RX-8 pulled .88, the G35 pulled

.92.



The Road and Track as tested price was $32,000.

Both give the car rave reviews.

some info.... g35 is faster because of the same reason the corvette was always faster than a camaro... thats the way nissan wants it... the G35 is a skyline with infiniti badge.... the motors are basiclly the same 3.5 but the G35 is the top on the line sports car for nissan motors... btw nissan is about a mile away from my house.... I have been seening new Z cars since early 02... long before any mag had pics... about a year ago I watched 2 R34 GTR's rightside drive, no plates,one blue ,one yellow, race door to door down the main road next to nissan at 100+ mph !!!
