I test drove the Mazda RX-8 and the Nissan 350Z with a friend of mine...we were pretending to be a rich newlywed couple. I was NOT impressed with the RX-8 in the least. It doesn't handle worth a crap. Understeers ferociously. They let us take one out by outselves, so we went to an empty parking lot and ran pseudo-slalom courses and practiced e-brake turns. It was fun, but I'd never buy the RX-8.
Now the 350Z was fun! Not as much HP as I'm used to, but it's still respectable and handles lightyears better than the RX-8. We took two out at once, since it's a 2-seater and this dealership wouldn't let us take it out by ourselves and I wouldn't let my "wife" go out with some strange dude without me. Same parking lot...I think the saleman shit his pants. I've never heard a grown man scream so much. Poor guy. The parking lot looked like a medium fog had just dropped in from the smoke from the tires.
