Re: which is better

z4, rx8, s2000

in that order.

the beemer will be a drivers car with plenty of torque, the rx8 will have a good pull on the low end, the s2000 will lack power in the lower ranges, but once vtec kicks in at around 5000, it will get going.

I agree with that order. A 2006 Z4 3.0i has 185 lb-ft of torque at 2750rpm (3.0si has 220 lb-ft at the same rpm), versus an '06 S2000 which only has 162 lb-ft at an insane 6800rpm. BMW Inline-6's are smooth, powerful and you don't have to drive it like you hate it to get decent power. We buy horsepower but drive torque.

Z4, S2000, RX8

The RX8 is just too odd.

Z4, S2000, RX-8 also..

RX-8's are beautiful cars but they've been known to have a lot of problems.. plus they don't make very good torque. They handle quite well, though.

Re: which is better

Ok, I think that the S2000 would be the funnest car to drive, since anything past 5000rpm is pure music... but it's also a revver too, so you have to wind it out to get any speed. Then Z4 and RX-8. I like going against the grain.
