all the number we find in mags. are done by the pros, also on tv shows, but there also human and the weather condition could be different there is so many factors of how a car complete a 1/4 mile i've seen times for an evo range from 12.8 sec to 14.5 sec. and different machines depend on different things, i see no reason y a s2000 having a chance of beating a 350z, i've seen much stranger things happen with my own eyes.

Re: who would win 1/4?

Those times are not out of mags. And by prows you mean people who are writers and that get a chance to drive the car. The writers are not pros. The just have the opertunity to drive all that cars.

My times were from actual people and there cars. No magazines. The S2000 is not really that fast in the straight line. But in the corners it dominates. The 350Z is the faster of the bunch. I have seen proof. And i listed there fastest times, has nothing to do with conditions. These ar etaken from all over the world. These are the fastest times. So ya. It is that order. Teh SRT-4 is amazingly quick.

i think some people get carried away with the srt-4. i know its a cool sx2.0 and everything and it is quick but its not like a funny car or anything. 350z should be able to beat it. the Rx8 is not all that quick and is definately last. the s2000 is a nice car(though i wouldnt want to own one) and 3rd is where it would be if you did this race over and over again you would find its mode would be 3rd

all you dumbass kids dont have a clue about anything. i HAVE an RX8 and you have no clue what kind of acceleration that car has. it is insane. for one, the rx8 is WAY faster than the 350Z. i would know this beCAUSE i have driven BOTH of the cars. the SRT-4 is a front wheel drive peice of ball bearing turbo shit. when you punch it has WAY to much wheelspin. how much horsepower do you fucking half-wit morons think the rx8 and the other cars have......YEAHHHH thats what i thought, go look it up on the fucking computer you stupid fucking kids. you probably cant tell me shit about the renesis (oh you know the fucking engine in the rx8, you know the fucking rotary!) i think i made my point here you bunch of fucking bald eagles!

those that you call writers, have their job for a reason and as often they get to drive car i mean really drive a car its safe to call them a pro.

I just bought an rx8 a few weeks ago, black 6speed loaded, and it is a blast to drive. The engine is so smooth and the handling is awesome, probably the best handling car that I have ever driven (i have owned 2 porsche 911's, a 944, an audi s4 quattro and a bmw z3, not to mention a boatload of others that don't compare to the handling capabilities of the mazda). I also own an infiniti G35 sedan which is close to the handling of the 8 but obviously not as fun to drive. The rx8 feels fast, but in comparison to most other cars to its class it is quite slow. the G35 would take the mazda any day in a quarter mile, but on the twisties the 8 would win hands down.

So why would anyone who knows anything about this car write a stupid thread such as this one?? Everyone knows the rx-8 doesnt match the acceleration of some other cars, but why does that matter? This car was not built for speed or horsepower, it is a great handling, everyday driving, fun to run machine. The 350z is faster, but no where near as fun to drive. the interior of the 8 is so much more refined compared to the cars.

Doug Mcgill, you are a moron. There is no way that you own an rx-8. If you show me a picture, then I will believe you, but unitl that, keep your fucking mouth shut. Yea, some of the posters on this forum are kids who don't appreciate the whole package of a car, but that is no reason to point them out and be such an ass. it may feel faster becasue of its lightweight structure and incredible handling, but numbers don't lie. The 350 could take an 8 on the strip any day, but when it comes down to which one is the better car, the mazda is a true winner. I know you don't own an rx-8, and you probably never will, so step away from the computer and go watch your pubes grow for a while.

what grade are you in Doug........9th because you sure seem to come off as a little poser. Of course the rx-8 has a rotary so what. Look at the published material on the cars.

350z hp 287
tq 274
weight 3188

RX-8 hp 238
tq 159
weight 3053

the numbers state it all. The RX-8 is a little lighter, but not enough to beat the 350z. The RX-8 may feel better than the 350z, but the 350z is faster.

Re: who would win 1/4?

honestly who cares about 1/4 mile, your not a fucking drag racer in your street car, and if you street race, go slit your own throat to save me time, and out of those four cars, the rx8,350 and s2k are all much better then srt-4, which is no fun to drive, where as the other three rwd 6 spd n/a cars are all awesome, dont put that shitty neon ricer in the same class as the other three
