Point to one prior to the "mentally challenged" comment. I just reread the complete thread, I think you are referring to Pure tremble's statements.

Your the type of person that gives 350z owners an all around bad name. I am sorry, but explain to me what starting arguements on other forums will prove? IT PROVES NOTHING.

OMG...
This Rx-8 VS 350Z **** is hillarious. I thought the Rx-7 VS Supra crap was funny, this is great. I'm in the market for a daily driver, could be either a 350Z or an Rx-8, so Im pretty unbias, imho. I have never driven a rx8 yet, although I drove a 350z the other day, more on that later.
Styling is a matter of opinion, but I think overall the rx8 is much better looking and more unique looking. The front of the rx8 is amazing looking, while the 350z is bland, boring and has no distinguishing characteristics other than its celica style headlights. From the back the 350Z looks bloated, but I still think it looks nice. From the rx-8 back it looks a bit high but again, I think it looks nice. From the side at *MOST* angles the Z looks better.
From an interior point of view the rx-8 wins hands down. While I liked the fish net style seat backs on the 350Z, the seats in the rx8 were really nice. the 350Z overall had a very cheap plastic feel to it (the gauge cluster looks like a 6 year old built it with lego's), while the rx-8s interior looked very well thought out and had much better fit/finish. IT looked like an interior in a much more expensive car.
Ok, just about every performance test I have seen said the Rx-8 was more fun to drive than the 350Z or G35, I will have to decide that for myself. My driving impression of the 350Z was somewhat mixed. When I first hit the gas in the 350Z I was VERY impressed at the *INITIAL* take off. It did appear to run out of breath around 4000 rpm though. Its difficult for me to really judge the 350Z, cause I cant help but compare to my rx-7 which is not a fair comparision due to the lower weight and twin turbos. I felt the top end and mid range power in the Z were ok, but not what I had expected. I found the handling to better than I expected but I could feel the weight of the car and the body roll was dissapointing.
What really impressed me was how civilized this car is. IMHO this car makes a perfect daily driver for me. You do not feel the road with the 350Z very much at all, the car is ungodly comforitable and was fun to drive.
I have not driven the rx-8, I plan on being in a market for 1 of these cars in the next few months. If I find that the engine issues are isolated for the Rx-8 and Mazda has a fix for the gas milage issue I will drive the rx-8 and base my decision on what is more fun to drive. At this point I would pick the 350Z because of the torque, gas mileage. I'm still keeping my -7- for my weekend fun/cruising and attention getting car.

You and I have obviously had quarrels before and will continue to do so. You feel the need to make fun of me or my previous posts. It must make you feel better knowing you know so much more than everyone else
. Make fun of me I love it

I would love to see how heads and cams would benefit the z. You obviously feel its a waste of time to even try?

Okay, so I do realize this is a fairly brand new engine, but why are there no aftermarket heads/cams packages out for the Z yet! I would love to see the gains from some aftermarket heads! SOMEONE HOOK IT UP!
The only reason I even brought this up was because my friend drives a 2000 z28. Those mothers are bad with just the heads/cams upgrade. It costs them under 3 grand for the parts and whatnot and they go from 310rwhp to 440+rwhp. My mouth hit the floor when I heard this. I was thinking, where the hell is this for the Z!
That's my whole point of all this. But you keep missing the point! Heads/cam package is a domestic term. I laughed out loud when I saw that post because it shows your lack of knowledge in modifying cars. Heads/cam make a noticeable different on small blocks/big blocks. Aftermarket heads/cam packages (even if there were such a thing for us lol) wouldnt net enough HP to justify the purchase/installation. But do this: Next Z meet, say "im thinking of a heads/cam package for my Z. What's good guys?" Tell me what everyone says 
8th graders act just like this. Someone will say "I have an HKS boost controller on my car." Next you'll be in here asking "where can i get a HKS boost controller guys?"lol where did you prove me wrong in the other post? By saying "the dyno lies" ? I'm sorry conceyted: You're the internet winner!!!1111!!!! Happy?
oh by the way, I've had fbodys for years. '88 GTA, '91 1le, '99 formula. Ive met Ed Hamburger and supplied him with info for 1LEs.

I was thinking about putting an RX-8 engine in my 350Z, what do you guys think? After reading the RX-8 forums for a while, I have decided it is a superior power plant and will begin this project at once. I'm gonna use the Subaru Forrester drive train, with all that power, I'm gonna need AWD.
Anyone know if an HKS boost controller would work with that set up?

This is EXACTLY the immaturity I expect from most of you guys. There is always going to be a faster/better car. I can sit here and laugh at a 350Z considering a bone stock Rx-7 that was built 12 years ago will humiliate a 350Z in EVERY catagory...yet when I drive a 350Z I realize its more civilized, more comforitable and has its own character. get the picture?
You guys have a really great car, so do the rx-8 people why dont you leave well enough alone? The reason I'm torn between the two cars is the fact that BOTH have something really nice to offer.
