Even with the Z existing I still nearly bought an EVO. For me it was down to the EVO, STI, and Z.

Before I bought the Z, I considered the 2004 S2000. I wanted the LSD and bigger 2.2L motor.

Probably a MINI Cooper S w/ works kit. VERY different cars, but those were the 2 left standing on my list of 40 new cars I tried out before I ordered my '06.

I'm *probably* guessing that i would have gotten the RX8. I really dont like the other 4 door cars (sti/evo..etc..) -- they just dont look like sports cars to me (in my opinion)..and maybe a bmw 330 or something like that..
also considered a few months ago before i bought the Z the audi a3..but the dealer was really not a nice guy (+ no discounts) so i left..

RX8, it was between it and the Z. RX8 just felt like a pig with no torque. At the time owning a 98 LS1 SS didnt help the RX8's cause.
