In the Looks Category the RX-8 donst even Compare to the 350z, IMO....i dont know about the Performance aspect though?
Either Way 350z!

rx-8 has 250 hp/ 162.3 ft lbs with 2970 lbs estimated
350z has 287 hp / 274 lb-ft with 3,188 lbs
the 350 is a unriviled legend, well in my eyes any way
it has everything that a person could ever want for such a resonable price too, its also backed by Nismo and all the top brand JDM performance companies, when was the last time you say the Japanese market follow a car with such attention and detail
Errmmm, considering the RX8 hasn't even hit the streets yet how can you honestly compare it? Have you sat in it, driven it? Oh wait, you probably haven't done that in the 350Z either...
I would take the RX-8!
the rx8 is a piece of riced out shit....mazda is behind the times with it..they took ideas that were cutting edge 3 years ago and applied it to a car that theyre selling in 6 months and whats with the backseats and the shitty srear doors..thats not a sports car..thats a saturn hopefully theyll bring back the rx7

Personally, I'm a fan of utility. To have a performance GT car, you don't need to loose the rear seats! The only excuse for that should be if the car is mid engined.... or if it's a vette or other roadster
I've been following the RX-8 since the first reports came out, it looks like a fantastic car, but only time will reveal for sure.
"Its because they're stupid, that's why. That's why everyone does everything."
the Z baby... buying the Z is buying the heritage behind the Z cars
Unfortunately, for 2005 Mazda declared they may bring back the rx7, depending directly on their ability to sell the rx8. So if the rx7 does come back (it wont), it will be a pussy whipped version of itself. IMHO, if they ripped out the back seat of the rx8, threw on an obese turbo, itd rock the 350z in pretty much every way.hopefully theyll bring back the rx7
It kinda sucks though, the rotary with a turbo needs to be taken care of, well rotaries in general. Very weak when it comes to over boosting and over heating. Thats pretty much the main reason they stopped sending rx7's over here... stupid warrenty claims.
So, for now, the 350z gets my vote. It still needs a rb26dett under the hood though!
350z based on that I think the RX8 is an ugly POS.
I would go with the 350z
JDM goodness + boost = 1 phat integra

Neither...truthfully I'm not fond of either, they are nice, but not my cup of tea...

TOUGH call. Both cars are legendary IMO (RX-7 and 350z), granted the 350z has been around longer. I like how the RX-8 seems to have a real trunk not a hatch like the 350z.Originally posted by infamous

The RX-8 will be more original. The 350z's platform will be used, I think, in the Infiniti G35 Coupe. The RX-8 will have nothing similar to it --- at least from the Mazda name.
The RX-8 is different in a good way. It looks amazing in that Mazda yellow. Both are gorgeous cars.

I don't know if anyone cares, nor have I told anyone about this.. but I saw a 350z on the street near the University at night about a month and a half ago.. It looked crazy!
i wont judge the rx8 til ive driven one.
Just cause of the looks sooooo beautiful. Plus I think in the New James Bond Movie its it in Ima pretty sure of that. No more BMW's.
I'm with Benny. Not really crazy about the looks of either one
