I'm sure you'll beat me on the air conditioning as well, mine blows...literally.
Again, we care about this comparison why?

Now please dont take this as bashing the RX8.....I like the car and respect it...Its unique and very stylish but it isnt the RX7....On an autocross it will give any car a serious run since its a tight track and power isnt as important as chassis setup like on a real circuit track like VIR.....Besides it isnt like the Z handles like garbage its a tick behind cars like the S2k/RX8 in terms of handling since its heavier so certain tracks will favor the faster Z while small tight, technical courses will favor the RX8 etc....RX8 great drivers car, nimble handler...No hate whatsoever towards it...

The '07 Z has the same dual-intake system as the G sedan. The infiniti has lower gearing than the nissan, which allows it to have the same 0-60 time.

Why do any of you even care if car X can go around a race track faster than car Y or if a car can run the 1/4 .2 tenths of a second quicker. Are any of you out racing your cars competitively? Seriously, if you guys were true car enthusiasts you'd look for reasons to like others cars instead of reasons to bash them.
