Im 6'4", and I could not sit comfortably in the 8 with a sunroof without bumping my head. Granted I barely fit in the 350Z either. But I can do without most "goodies". I prefer cloth seats (leather is hot and sticky in summer, freezing in winter, aside from it doesnt hold you at all), audio can always be upgraded, and I absolutely despise auto dimming mirrors. My dads Audi A4 has them and I hate driving at night with them because I cant see what the hell is going on behind me.
Anyways, just my $.02
Ansel '94 LXsigpic Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car, Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, and Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

i drove both cars before i made my decision. RX8 all the way. not only is the 350 overpriced, but it depreciates like 7K when you drive it off the lot. and didnt feel fast to me at all. the 8 seems alot better of a car even with the low torque. you can spin the wheels all day long, with the limited slip engaged. and about over steer from the RWD the 8 totally kicks sideways, its a fun ass car and im quite happy with it. and im 6' tall and i dont have head issues.
the 350 is still sweet, just alot cheeper, needs to be more in the 28K range, not the 38K range.

Originally posted by BoricuaI guess the RX-8 was made for guys like me. I'm only 5'8 and i'm pretty much done growing. So score for me . But you also got to remember, people in Japan are on average not as tall as people here so maybe thats why you guys have trouble fitting in there. nonetheless, its still an awesome car. only needs more torque then it'd be perfect.
Sorry! The RX-8 was made for women NOT guys!
