Its lack of torque (like an S2000) makes it frustrating to drive daily. The 350Z has plenty of torque, and you don’t need to downshift 3 gears just to merge on the highway. I totally agree with you that for over 90% of the car owning public, having a torquey motor is way better than a high strung one. However, personally, I love rev happy cars. I highly prefer the rev happy little 1.8s and 2Ls that I’ve had on my Toyotas to the KA. Infact, I take the Corolla to redline several times on a daily basis. I love hearing it, and I love how quickly it builds revs. It makes it a joy to drive for me. And the RX-8 is even more of that good stuff, but with way more power (compared to a Corolla anyway lol). I mean sure the salesguy was pissed, but when I wound that bitch up to 9k, I got a hardon 😃 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/advice-feedback-of-rx8/102902)._
