350z/G35/RX-8

[xatlxshawtyx]

I have a Stat project I'm doing with my friend, and it's due Thursday. I was just wondering if you guys could help me out and take this poll. I didn't really know where to put it, and I don't really mind if you guys explain why you picked which one you did.

It's just for a project so pick the one you like most.

Thanks.

OH FORGOT TO MENTION...

Yeah, I know the rx-8 has a rotary engine, but i'm not sure how it is exactly.
but thanks for the input~

[Kyle]

I wouldnt buy a rotary car. And the G35 is essentially a nicer 350Z. So G35 FTW.

[blackshine007]

As much as I love the handling of the RX8, it just don't have any balls. Or good fuel mileage for that much. I don't really care much for the 350Z's styling, but I drooled over the G35 coupe when it first came out. So that's my choice. Besides, the G35 gets better gas mileage anyways

[OneSlow5pt0]

a 8 is just as fast as a Z,i belive

[xatlxshawtyx]

Thanksss guys keep voting! I need a decent amount of votess before Thursday.

It's weird though, out of the 6 votes on IA that I've gotten, all are for the G35 and I'm guessing they're all guys.

But when I polled people in person, most guys chose the 350z and the girls chose the G35...

[OneSlow5pt0]

im the only RX-8 vote,lol

[Driftk1d350z]

350z FTMFW!!

im partial to it cuz i own one tho...

[pinkandgreen]

Good luck with the project!

[xatlxshawtyx]

Good luck with the project!

Thankk you~

[joecoolfreak]

The Rx8 is no where near as fast as a Z. The Z has 305hp and weighs 3404 lbs. The Rx8 has 232hp and weighs 3045 lbs. The Rx8 does 0-60 in about 6.6 and the Z is right around 6 flat.

That being said, I voted for the G. The Z is slightly faster stock, but no where near as nice.

[Mr_Mischif]

How heavy is a G?

[Sol-Badguy]

Z, because I've driven the Z and the RX-8, and I like the Z better.

Fuck luxury.

PS. On gender, I have a pee-pee.

[Kamikaze]

I vote RX8. But hey, I'm biased.

[nreggie454]

Z.

My girlfriend has a G35 but I care more about performance than luxury. I'm a guy BTW.

[xatlxshawtyx]

okk thankss guysss. only a couple moree hours until tomorrow!

[sogood]

I voted for the G, I'm a guy, btw.

As others said, the Z is a little faster, but fuck that interior. Performance and luxury FTW.

[Kyle]

Also the rear end of the G35's look amazing.

Z, because I've driven the Z and the RX-8, and I like the Z better.

Fuck luxury.

i am not trying to change your opinion, but if you could have a car that is just about as fast and more luxurious would you not take it?

[xatlxshawtyx]

lol i agree, I'd pick the G35.
lovee it.

[joecoolfreak]

How heavy is a G?

3524 lbs

[Extrememustang]

I saw a dyno sheet where they twin turboed a 350 and a g35 and the g35 got more hp. Which doesnt make sense cause of the the enigne and trans, but who knows.

could have been different kits. if you have exact same parts/tuning on each a 350z and a G35, the 350z will always have a slight power advantage due to less weight.

a 350z IS a g35 and 200+ lbs.

[Ch0ng!]

That being said, I voted for the G. The Z is slightly faster stock, but no where near as nice.

my Z makes 287hp, made 247whp, my Z (touring.. heaviest) with a full tank of gass weighed in @ 3290 w/out me in it.

and best and last.. nissan claims 5.5 0-60 times..
Motortrend and Car and Driver have both beat those times.

[OneSlow5pt0]

well if a G weighs 3,500 pounds with 305HP and a RX-8 makes 255-60HP and weighs around 2,900 how is the G a whole lolt faster?

and i would think the RX-8 would out handle both of them

and how much is a G new?

a RX-8 is around 28k brand new with a 6speed so with all the extra money u would save buying it over the G,turbo the RX-8 and some other mods and blow the doors off the G

my intake/exhaust 350z beat a turbo RX8 (forgot what bolt on kit) from 70mph - 150mph by 1 car...

a G weighs 34XXlbs.. the new 306hp motor is underrated... i've alerady seen 4door G35 times with that motor... best i've seen ran was a 13.99 @ 102mph... thats pretty damn impressive, its more like a 330hp motor.

btw.. RX8's never made that power.

every single one i've witnessed on the dyno put less than 200whp down.. all fall @ about 180-190whp.

[OneSlow5pt0]

the 05 and up have that HP with the shinto package

the first RX-8s were undepowered


o,well id still take the 8 over the G and Z anyday

[David88vert]

I'll take the RX-8. It's easy to make power for cheap, and you start with a better balanced car. I've driven supercharged 350Zs, turbo 350Zs, and stock Zs. All are nice, but heavy. You really can't go wrong with any of the 3.

[Extrememustang]

The bad thing about rx8 is it loses a BIGGER %then a standard car of Hp thru the drivetrain.

[DrivenMind]

a Z makes nearly 70 more whp than the RX-8.

Strip it, and rip it.

[Zane98S14]

There was an emissions control thing on the RX-8 that riched it up when it sensed it was on a dyno or emissions wheel causing it to produce super low numbers in HP so it would pass wasn't there? I distintcly remeber hearing something like this when it was released and there was a giant stink over dyno numbers compared to the ones Mazda was claiming.

[xatlxshawtyx]

lol alright guys. this poll is over. thanks again :)

Please delete thiss thread.

[Tuner_13BFC]

RX-8

why

sports car with a easy entry back seat i got fat ass friends

and whats more fun than an high reving rotary buzzing thru back roads

[imbosile]

guy

g35

fuck didn't see it was over

[afwfjustin]

The RX8 is about as fast as the Acura RSX type S, which isn't very fast at all :)

I'm a guy and I voted for the G35 because it's the only car that I don't dislike out of the 3.

[Kevykev]

350z male

as per instructions lol

[Benefit]

g35...its the better looking car imo. the tail lights are to die for

[telum01]

i voted for the G35. it's absolutely gorgeous, has plenty of luxury but is still sporty and quick. the transmission of the one i test drove was silky-smooth, which was nice. 350Z's are nice, but i just prefer the styling of the G35. RX8's are great looking cars and handle extremely well, but they're underpowered. slapping a turbo on a Renesis will give it a lot more power, but it doesn't respond nearly as well to forced induction compared to the 13B-REW because of the exhaust ports. just my $.02.

[ATK_Designs]

I vote against the G35. That thing is a pos, ugly, slow, expensive, mods are ridiculously expensive as well. Get anything else but a G35.
























































That'd make one less G35 Driver in the ATL. :lol:

x2:goodjob:

[B18c-rex]

^^^ Totally agree mods for the g35 and 350z are extremely expensive . So buy one knowing that you will be happy with it keeping it stock for a long time . Otherwise you might end up in serious debt trying to mod them . Trust me this comes from a 350z owner ;) .

[takume]

I like the Z more, but my girl will be happier to sit in a 8

[DinanM3atl]

Damn.... I wouldn't pick any of them...

I won't choose so I don't throw off your project :)

[Crazy Asian]

RX-8 would suck down in GA during winter time. All my friends have told me alot of RX-8 owners in colder climate get fucked for some reason. IT either stalls or doesnt start at all.

my RX-7 always started up through the winter,just like all RXs u gotta let them warm up before taking off..

[JITB]

Rx8!the roads are saturated with z's, and g35's... u see a rx8.. u stare a little..

[allmotoronly]

g35= luxury 350z

me:D

[xatlxshawtyx]

lol this poll stopped a while ago.. lmao .
i asked them to delete it.. but
i guess not. :)

[JITB]

me

[GirlieZ]

i like my Z, its a good daily, it fast enough to get in and outa traffic, handles well, has enough space. its a well balanced car. i dont know if you plan on modding or just enjoying it how it sits right off the boat but it get expensive to get reliable power either was you go NA or boost. i enjoy it and its a good car for now, but when i graduate ill get my power car, the other Z.

[ChnkyLao]

how about the s2000?

[SpeedMonkey]

Damn.... I wouldn't pick any of them...

I won't choose so I don't throw off your project :)

yet you drive a fucking e36?... please. step up your game player.. talk shit when there is atleast a REAL M car in your garage like a e46

[SpeedMonkey]

you want a fast Z or G35? for cheap.

price of car (used) 21-26,000 good condition 04/05

1. Nitrous kit($700)
2. 2 step colder plugs ($11 x 6)
3. AEM UEGO ($235)
4. Intake (150) custom 3'' exhaust (single and eliminate cats) ($400)


100 Shot (wet), no tunning needed pretty damn reliable 360WHPish 400WTQish G35/350z whenever you need it.

Is the formula for success?

Jk sounds about right. I saw some at the track same setup. With slicks running 12.00 flats.

ya i stare a little and say what the fuck

[_Christian_]

g35>350z>schwinn>rx8

[Jonflip29]

Overall, i love my G35. Has the power of a Z, and the comfort of a M35/M45(but in a coupe). The prices aren't so bad for what the car is. I'm only 22 and I bought mine over a year ago. Its all about how hard you work for it. Modding the car isn't a must, the car is powerful from the showroom floor. If some of you think these cars are slow, i suggest you drive one for a while, then tell me what you think. Plus, if you haven't, you guys should see how these cars are designed, they're beautiful.

[silvers2k]

the g35 and 350s are all over the place, and, for a good reason. People really like it. It's must also mean that they are reliable. But the thing about it is, its EVERYWHERE!!! i love my S because when i park my car, i know that the chances of there being another S aroung me is going to be slim. so if i had to pick, id get the 8, only because its not like an epidemic, and its not a bad car.

top gear said the RX-8 was leaps and bound better than the Z on the track..dont see him go crazy over JDM very often

[JITB]

everyone insists on saying the rx-8 is slow, but its actually quicker than the FD. stock v. stock, thats great to have a reworked na version of the same motor minus the twins and put out the same amount of power. if u see a modified g35/350/Rx8 parked next to each other.. which one will get the most attention...

A stock FD is faster than a stock RX-8. I've driven both extensively. The RX-8 is a very well-built car though, and has lots of potential - it's just most people go the wrong route on them.

yea FD > RX-8 in performance...but the RX-8 has lots of good things goin too..id love to have a RX-8:D

[batlude]

rx8 is slow... my old G spank it!! i got video!

i stand corrected, i just saw some 1/4 mile times that the 8 was .2 seconds quicker than the fd. But i guess not...

[OneSlow5pt0]

nah a 6speed RX-8 is .2 or 3 faster than a 90 T2...not a FD

[silvers2k]

i'm probably going to purchase a rx8 tomorrow, and ill tell you guys how it drives compared to my previous s

[cactusEG]

RX8 tt for sure

[OneSlow5pt0]

i'm probably going to purchase a rx8 tomorrow, and ill tell you guys how it drives compared to my previous s

lol,k...well least now,u really see what high rpms are:D

[DieselNuts]

If some of you think these cars are slow, i suggest you drive one for a while, then tell me what you think.
Ive been driving one for a year and 9months now.....its slow...lol. Not really, but when people say to me, "man, i bet that thing flys", all I can really say is, "its not bad". There are plenty of cars out there that are quicker, but Im sure there are even more that are slower.

I own a G35, so obviously thats what I would pick in the poll even though its over. I was gonna get a Z, but I just liked the way the G looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better. The Z is pretty pimp, but the G is straight up BALLER SON! I talked to a guy that had an RX8 and he was selling it because even after turboing the car, it didnt make very good power (he didnt do it, but he had friends that did it). If you want just performance, get the Z. If you want to have your cake and eat it too (sport and luxury) get the G.


yet you drive a fucking e36?... please. step up your game player.. talk shit when there is atleast a REAL M car in your garage like a e46
You obviously dont know your shit when it comes to E36s. The E36 M3 is one of the best "driver's cars" ever made. They also have much more potential than an E46 when it comes to track day. Show me some successfully turbo'd E46 M3s. Ive got a video of an E36 M3 making a Ferrari 360 modena look stupid. It would take more money to make an E46 do that than it would an E36.

[R32Dragon]

Prior ownership obligates me to vote for the 8, but G35 coupes are drool inducing.

[DESTRO_91]

True enough the 8 is not as fast as the z especially from a dig, but after running with a z on the highway in my, he could not pull away from me. and as for the g35, that car is incredibly beautiful, i love them, but i pulled on one in my 8 on the highway and i'm n/a. lack of torque make our 8's suck in low end, but top end we're not bad.

[iEvo]

350z>G35>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rx8

[DESTRO_91]

i wished they would have put the tiburon in that poll, then my 8 wouldn't get shitted on.

[DieselNuts]

i wished they would have put the tiburon in that poll, then my 8 wouldn't get shitted on.
hahahaha! your right about that. You say that you pulled away from a G on the HWY. I've never driven or ridden in an RX8, but youve got me curious. Would you like to make a friendly run sometime?

[OnURleft]

The new Z's and G's are everywhere...kinda like the E36m's use to be everywhere. I voted G as I like my back seats when I need them.

[TheProfiteer]

yet you drive a fucking e36?... please. step up your game player.. talk shit when there is atleast a REAL M car in your garage like a e46

wtf you talking about, E36 M FTW anyday of the fucking week!
A REAL M is an E30, thats a real M.

E46 is a plastic barbie doll, oooh we got 320hp in the US market bullshit.

Euro E36 M is my muthafuckin dream car.

woot.

[collins]

If some of you think these cars are slow, i suggest you drive one for a while, then tell me what you think.
lol i did. its still slow! in fact, last night, i was cruising down the hwy at about 55-60 m.m.o.b. when a silver z tries to do a ricer flyby. he passes me, i pop it in 3rd, by now he's about 5-6 cars ahead of me. by 110 i'm back at his bumper and still pulling hard... i shut down at 120 cause i dont know where cops sit (i'm in maryland btw). so yes, they're still slow.



(disclaimer: the ricer z was stock i'm assuming. i'm fully aware that there are some modded z's that would give me an ass whoopin.)

[Leadfoot_mf]

turtles i like turtles most

[Hundo®]

guy - 350z

it's the sexiest car period.

[JDMjoe]

G35 the better of the 3. Same drivetrain as a 350 just in a nicer shell. :goodjob:

[BobbyFresco]

I say go a different route and get a E46 BMW M3

[Andy_013]

I vote Skyline v35 (g35)

[WTF?]

i perfer the sports car look and feel over luxary so 350Z ftw
