RE: RX-8 or 350 Z
Why is it wrong to have an appreciation for other car makes besides AUDI?....To say that an Audi A4 is drastically better than a 350z is asinine.First off, the cars fall into 2 different categories...Secondly, for the amount of money it takes for an Audi to, at least a standard A4 1.8T, You can have either a single or twin turbo z, wheels, and then some...There are hella more 400, 500, 600, and beyond hp Z's rolling around than A4's...The Rx8 however, IMHO, does suck.It's not quick in the very least and both the hp and tq suck...i can honestly comment on this because i have owned both cars...And as far as saying that anything Japenese is garbage or rice, as many of you have called them, that is totally ridiculous....They're are plenty of JAPANESE cars that rival GERMAN automakers when it comes to performance, quality, and value....Plus many of us Japanese car owners look to Europe to our next car to purchase...So hating across Make lines is retarded...At the end of the day, they're all just cars...!

The RX-8 IS better:
-It looks better (IMO)
-It has 4 seats
-Interior is nicer
-Engine sounds great
-AMAZING handeling
-Got the same time as the 350z in track time, the 8 only lacks in torque
-Redlines at 8,500RPM's (who wouldn't like that)
-It is less common than the 350z
But hey if you want a car that you see every other block then buy the 350z.

Some you guys need to pull yourheads out of your *** and figure out that when it comes down to it, this a car forum. Audis are not the only cars that can be dicussed here. The A4 with a stock turbo and stock suspension is slow as can be, and looks like a 4+4. The z and rx7 **** on the A4 in stock form, and faster and better performance in everyway. The 1.8ts trans are geared like 10speed bikes. Stock turbo/stock suspension A4s are that specail, in any way.

RE: RX-8 or 350 Z
I just want to set the record straight by saying that I wasnt bashing Audi, or any of it's autos....Just merely stating that brand loyalty does not mean that one should be ignorant about other car makes....You cant compare the average JAPANESE sport car against a EURO on the following merits....For example...An Audi A4 would be considered a luxury sedan, turbo or not, and a 350z is a sports coupe....Both cars are designed and built for different reasons...So to say that a JAPANESE SPORTSCAR isnt on the level of a EURO LUXURY SEDAN because it doest have leather or whatever other amenities is completely asinine...Even comparing the 2 cars stock, performance-wise, the 350z would walk on the A4....
