These are just of the articles in the issue. A good one to check out.

**Of course page 18-19 open page of the real car: NISMO 350Z.

Just points of conversation if want to be. Interesting info I thought.

 

Those numbers are probably right with the Evo and the Suby maybe low 13's in the 1/4. What's cool is that Mazda is coming back with the Rx-7, hopefully it will be as fast as the Fd's, hopefully with better reliability. The vette numbers are impressive, but it's not the car for me. Curious what was the Z numbers?

 

cool. wheres mine?! ughhhh always late

 

No numbers for the 350Z, but then we pretty have an idea since not much change going on there. The Road Test Summary on page 155 has the Z at 5.6 0-60 and 13.7 1/4 mile. That's for the stock Z off the lot of course "Anniversary Model".

 

wow s2000 big drop to s800? or did you mean s8000 cuz thats a big jump

 

The article by Gordan Murray about the F1 LM McLaren that he designed is really good, with beautiful pics - sold me on the issue. The other articles are pretty speculatory and spotty.

 

No its the s800...smaller than the s2000 designed to compete with the miata

 

so will it have a .8 liter engine?

 

heh thats what I was just thinking

 

They say it's going to have a K20A and be close to 2750lbs so just imagine a miata sized car with power of a vtak. It'll put the new GTR to shame but still not be able to keep up with it's sibling the almighty RSX.

I was looking at the RX9 or 7 pictures and was disgusted again with the stupid front fenders. Now i know thats it's not the production model and is a rendering but if Mazda continues in that direction there going to dig a bigger hole for themselves.

Either redesign it again or build it off the original FD. All they really need to do is make the FD a little more aggressive and then put a reliable 13B TT in the car, the RX8 has great handling. Actually nvm they can keep the fender design but make it flow instead of having all these sharp design cues here and there, RX8 design = too busy. The interior is gorgeous though...

I thought the S2000 looked funny... at first glance i thought it was a t-bird.
