like was said before…they are not remake but i wouldn’t mind either one…i like both the RX8 & the 350Z, would i own one…probably not, cause there is a lot of other stuff i’d rather have for that money. would i drive a 350Z or RX8 = yes would i buy a 350Z or RX8 = probably not would i drive a GTO or Charger = NO would i buy a GTO or Charger = definately NOT ---

It is a descent car, I just don’t think it lives up to the name of “GTO”. ---

I say the rx-8 I raced one on I-70 just outside cincinatti to columbus the entire way. I couldnt leave him far behind from 90+ roll. but we drop down to 20-30mph a ton of times, I would get 5-6 easy cars before 100. The greatest Trip ever :boink 🆒 made it to pittsburgh from cincy in 3.5 hours that night ---

Mid-low 14 sec cars. The “new versions” really arent that far behind. ---

the 350 z follows the z line… as you had the 240, 280, 300 etc z’s. the number came from displacement. the rx-8 does not continue the lineage of the rx7. that would be like saying the rx7 was the next generation of the rx3… so in that deffense, the rx8 is a “new” car, allthough we all know it was made to follow in the lines of the rx7, i.e. a sporty rotary. the rx8 is deffinitely a let down. the 350z has tons of potential w/ afternarket, the rx8 is the black sheep that was neglected. thats my 2 pennies [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/which-import-remake-was-more-disapointing-than-the-original/175867.md?page=1)
