Hey guys thinking about selling my 2003 Z...help me change my mind!!haha lookin at RX-8s and evos..can you change my mind?haha











ZZZ ya!

 

rx-8? why would you wanna downgrade?

 

First of all, why?

Second of all, why an RX-8?

 

If you hate torque than go buy an RX8.

 

RX-8s suck....and they are slow as hell....if you want an "RX" go get a RX-7....

 

Why are you contemplating this?

 

honestly...i have no clue i test drove 1 and i kinda liked it..dunno why...always liked the looks of em...but i love the Z...and my Z is burning a quarter or more a oil change..it has more worried..only has 43K...paranoid...been looking for a track edition Z also to trade on

 

I would wait for the new EVO...would hate for you to buy this current model when there is plans for a redesign.

 

Where i live the Z isnt a very good winter car why i thought EVO...AWD...the hills of WV cry for AWD...but theres tons of evos here tho...maybe when i get more cash flow coming in to where i can mod the Z more ill be satisfied again haha..we'll see i guess...think i got it goin in the right direction

 

the new 06 subaru STI is better then the new evo and cheaper! so if your goin for the AWD get the STI. well thats motortrends thoughts on the 2 cars (evo and STI)

 

So much cheaper and easier to get HP out of the evo platform than the Suby platform also...and the new front end on the STi is UNGODLY ugly

 

it just depends on your taste. some people love the hood scoop (like me and people i live around) while you and whoever you know may not. but regardless the STI 06 has much improvements such as it no longer has understeer, and also it isnt very hard to get more HP outta it. new up pipe and down pipe, exhaust, racing chip, boost timer, or replace ther turbo!

also when your upgrading the evo. sure it may be cheaper, but all your doing is MATCHING the STI. to beat it costs even more.

 

just curious, how long have you owned your 2003?

 

March 29th,2006 so not that long...already had to fix 2 recalls and i hate this damn grease strip problem on the windows to they wont fix!...i love the Z just want a track maybe?i dunno what my deal is..but i take more care of the car than i do myself almost the way it seems.lol

 

speaking from experience. the RX8 sucks. i have had mine for 11 months, and has a total of 14k miles right now (i bought it brand new with 7 miles). at 10k miles the engine flooded, and since then, its been at the dealership 4 times for the same/similar problems, which are mainly the spark plugs and incorrect air/fuel ratio. now, i am having the same problem. i am going to get rid of the piece of sh*t this week hopefully. if you want, you can buy it off me only $350 (thats tax included) for 13 more months.. and dont worry about the annoying problem, warranty covers it, im just sick n f*cking tired of the bull**** dealership, i dont have much time on my hands to go back n forth

edit: ill even throw in a pair of JDM clear corners from Tokyo for free

 

i was dead set on my a RX8 before I bought my Z. one drive, i just laughed and bought the Z.

 

yeah iv heard they've had flooding problems im just wondering how practicle the new RX-8s are..and you have the color and package in the rx-8 i wanted to haha the white..main turn off on the 8 is BOOK VALUE...its falling worse than a focus it seems!

 

If you want an RX8, just do what we did for a customer, swap in a 13B single turbo!!

 

i like the rx8 interior... Red leather seats, shifter and console but it is slow as hell. +1 in installing a turbo on that shii..

 

RX-8 = the blow....

Evo = alright, but boosted DSM ain't reliable at all, especally if you decide to upgrade the turbo and all that.

350Z = the w3n.....
