i drove the 06 or 07 gt i think it was and they drove pretty well. later that day i drove my friends z and i prefered the rx8, i felt more in control and had a better feeling and could push the rx8 more around corners...ofcourse it isnt faster but that isnt always important to some people. im 6'3'' and i fit in there comfortably! rwd 6 speed isnt too bad either.
