350Z vs s2000 vs RX8 vs WRX(slightly modded)

[zane11]

Okay there is lots of talking about these cars, so I'm gonna make one big thread for all them. We can do all the comparisons in this thread instead of having tons.

[del]

what are we comparing here? in a race? and if so, what kind of race? rally race, no need to say. road course, probably the honda. drag race? i would say NOT the honda or subaru. looks? if so, count the wrx out. i'll take the 350z reliability? a toss-up between the honda and nissan (although the honda has had more time to prove its reliability since the 350z just came out; provided its VQ engine holds up to its name, it should be right up there with the honda, if not more so). fun to drive, havne't driven a 350z or rx-8, but the honda is one hell of a fun car to drive when you can drive it hard. i think the nissan looks better than the mazda so overall i'll have to say my fav out of the 4 is the nissan. i'd say the honda but for practicality purposes, the nissan would be a better car to own on a daily basis. make sense?

I take the rx-8 for overall use(4 seats/fast/larger trunk), 350z for a street race, and the s2000 for overall fun(convertible/high rev)

[Porsche]

287 hp

The 350Z has *ahem* a slight advantage.

[NISSANSPDR]

350Z for road race, street race, and autocross fun...not to mention cruising the strip

WRX for a family and rally duties...not to mention getting the groceries.

Im taking this poll to mean which car would I rather "have" if offered a choice.

In that case, I pick the 350Z ahead over the RX8.

[igor@af]

The Z all the way baby. You've got to try out the raw power of the car if you haven't already. The balance is also very very good.

I'll take the Z with the Track Edition option.

me too, 5.4 0-60 with a 13.7 1/4 plus the new convertible z they're releasing is really nice looking

I'd like to see the 2000 do well, but I'm afraid the Z is the class of that group.

The 350Z's are too flat and bland looking for my tastes, it may have the most power but I wouldn't be choosing between all these cars for something powerful to race. WRX, sat in one of those, I just don't like the way that car feels inside, I'm sure it could be a blast if I ever got to test drive one but with the minimal experience I've had with it, it's out.

That leaves the S2000, and the RX8, and I've never really liked convertibles so that leaves me voting for RX8.

[ballsoutracecar]

i'm a honda man myself but i would definently go for the Rx-8.

ive had plenty rides in them, well rotary's anyway, and nothing makes power and smooth acceleration like they can without too much work and $$$$. (Honda is the exception )

187KW / 9000rpm / sleek and fast and ALL MOTOR baby. Not to mention 1.3L

Imagine a nice turbo set up. MMMMMMMMMAAAAAAATTTTE, that would kick some ass.

Dont like 350Z, too boxy and weird looking, too refined / If i see another Subaru i'll kill myself - in OZ every 4th cars a Scoob, and every 3rd a Skyline or s13/14/15 / Love the S2000 - not quite a Type R though.

alright, who did it? who voted??
