personally, after driving the evo and 350z, i would scratch the RX8 off that list. looks cool, but disappointing performance IMO. it handles well though

Mazda is like a 1.3Ltr Engine.
I know it performs well, but jeez, I just couldnt buy a car thats a 1.3ltr sorry.

The Evos are nice but they look dated to me.

The 350Z has the looks and it goes like a rocket too.

3.5Ltr great sounding engine, plus I love the fact its a 2 seater, no mistaking it for a family car, the 350Z is totally purpose built as a 2 seater sports car.

350Z, all the way

Scracth the RX8. Then ask yourself, "do I want a backseat?"

350Z.

350z for the win.

Now that we have made your mind up, avoid asking inane questions or else you will find that many will revel in their enjoyment of making fun of you.

I know I agonized for months trying to choose between the "Z" and a 2007 Mustang GT/CS . . .

I've always loved the looks of the "Z", but the very first time I sat in one I was convinced it was the "right" car for me!

Good luck in making your decision, Bam-0

RX8 if you want to go slow.

Evo if you want to back up to your car everytime you get in so as not to offend your eyes.

Z if you want to go fast & bring a smile to your eyes.

Evo or Sti, backseat is more practical and boost common.

1.3L rotary can be considered 2.6L also since there are 2 rotors, theres threads about it on other rotary forums.
Of course rotaries dont really have much torque to them, but turbos fixes that problem even tho you would need to look into alot better cooling. Well, overall the renesis motor has too high of a compression and boost psi is cut down very low.
