@EnnesX the RX-8 really? You’d be faster in a V6 Camry
@cozzey05 who? you?
@EnnesX dumbass
I’d take the RX-8, then the 135, then the 370Z, and would not take the Solstice.
Power is all.
torque is all.
and,lap time is all.
The 8 is the best
who cares what this guy says, its a sport car like no other.
@directorPlz But the RX9 will be the size of a Miata 2,500lb with around 300hp. The 380z my have 368hp but it will be well over 3,000lb… The RX9 will be more of a drivers car and a lot more fun to drive. The 380z will be numb to drive and just one more tech car.
by the time mazda releases the new rx-9 we will have the 380z with 368 hp with similar handling than the r35, a 0-60 time of 4.4 and brake dist of 153ft. the Z car is head turning sexy, rx8 just looks dumb.
rx8 6.3secs should be around the 5.5 sec
not bag on any nissan 370z owners and lovers… but come on no way it soulda won FUKK THAT 370Z… its just my opinion dont take it to heart
The 370z isnt that fast at all…i raced one back and forth, they have no top end what so ever…
I’d buy the BMW.
Love both 370Z and RX-8 R3.
@JomesZ The 370z is the G35 platform? WOW you mean I have back seat in my car? Jesus I must have failed to see it all this time. The 370z is a REVISED version of the 350z’s platform and a good revised version at that. I garuntee my Z hits 100mph much quicker than the lil RX8 you drive. I garuntee its not putting even 310rwhp. You don’t even have any videos proving your dyno lol That rpm thing you mentioned is idiotic. A C6 Vette will rape you and doesnt rev nearly as high.
@psmTARDCORE I guess majority of Rx8 drivers are woman interesting theory you have but everyones entitled to have there opinion. And for you information I don’t flex my turbo R only if theres a need for it. You bragging on your Video post about your Z about how fast you are well lets see if you can keep up with me at 3rd gear already at 105 and still 3 more gears that rev to 9000rpm.You say there as bad as G35 but in reality the 370 Z is G35 platform so really your driving a womans car.
@JomesZ I live in San Diego and rarely see 370z’s or 135i’s. I see RX8′s everywhere down here and especially solstices. The worst part is RX8 drivers always think their car is so fast until something other than a damn civic rolls up next to them. They are almost as bad as G35 coupe drivers although most RX8 drivers I see are women.
@2003SCT i can understand if the 1 series hatchback has a weird styling. i have 2 neighbors who have them and even if one of them has the 130i msport, its a bit weird. however I think that the coupe looks awesome. at first glance, i thought that the back looked a bit abnormal especially the L shaped lights but it takes time to get use to. the fact that some people dislike the crease at the sides clearly shows me that they know nothing about the history of bmw as the 2002(equivalent of 3) had it.
@Shuffle3956 wanker
@JimmyChannel1 The BMW DOES have questionable styling. Most BMW models look decent but that shortened and cheapened pug-look of the 1 series says, cheap entry level model while the price says, WTF?…really? I still don’t understand why BMW made the 1 series at all. Nasty looking car.
why the fuck do you call the 1 series coupe a questionable exterior design? LOOK AT THAT PONTIAC YOU CUNT
i love how the bimmer doesnt even look like it fits in this test at all, and still manages a 2nd place. and yeah i agree with that pontiac looking like horse shit
@311ZeroCool “So show me any 4cyl motor getting similar #'s with no Forced Induction.” S2000?
@Vikke47 american shit
This was a very poor comparison test (135i) doesn’t fit. The RX8 received horrid #’s in cornering OBV someone can’t drive . They always use the Poor fuel mpg and low TQ for the RX8, as an excuse to give it a low place when it’s not about MPG’s it’s about out put and a 1.3L N/A pumping 238 is pretty dam good. So show me any 4cyl motor getting similar #’s with no Forced Induction.
