350z or rx-8

I have taken a ride in an RX-8. I don't paticularly like the way the rotary sounds.

It's just that the RX-8's weight distribution is divided so evenly on both sides (left to right, not front to back) which makes it have such great handling. Also, it's rear wheel drive (but so is the 350Z so that's nothing special). But yea, that's pretty much what makes it have such perfect handling.

"Every Kg in the Z, has been analysed for one magical result. A 53/47 weight distribution. Its a complex series of calculations that equate to a moment of perfection when it counts most, in the apex of a turn.

During heavy braking, as the driver approaches the apex, additional wieght shifts to the front of the wheels as the driver actually enters the turn. And at that precise moment the driver accelerates out of the apex, that weight distribution shifts rearward, and, magically, becomes an approximate 50/50 balance. Which translates to a high performance driver's favourite word. Stability: Less cornering pitch. Better tyre contact. Improved directional stability Quicker turns. So precise is this balance that the driver's weight was calculated into the equation."


So i guess the two cars are very similar.

Well, I'd actually take the new Subaru Liberty/Legacy 2 litre turbo GT, but for the purposes of this poll, the RX-8. I need four seats.
