350Z or GTO or RX-8?

If you had to choose between a 350Z, RX-8 and GTO which car would you get?

350Z. rx-8 seems slow, GTO is kind of bland.

yeah, but still looks kind of boring. GTO fast, RX-8 slow. 350Z in the middle and isn't boring.

GTO, mostly because it has usable back seats and I need that. Fast car, but I'm not sure I could afford the fuel bill. Moot point anyway, they don't sell them here in the GWN. I'd want to drive them all first, of course, sometimes what you think you want is not really what you want!

I'd take the 350Z, or even better wait for the 370Z.

Though the RX8 isn't bad looking, I still wouldn't buy one. The boring exterior styling of the GTO would put a blind man to sleep.

those are way different. v8, rotary, and v6. depends on what you want, massive torque, hi reving, or hi modability. i'g go with the Z since it's between the other 2 and it hella fun wtih tons of mods.

I used to have a 02 vette and just like the gto, it didn't burn too much gas. as long as you drive normal, the 6.0 will idle low rpms and keep good gas milage. espceially on the highway, if you are traveling 70 mph, the z would burn more fuel then the gto just cause the engine is bigger and a lot easier for that motor to maintain that speed. my vette would get about 425 miles on a full tank. but get the Z!! Thats a real mans car...

Granted it's a little bland, but clean:



Just wait for the 08, it won't put you to sleep! Hard to catch good Z's while retching...



I was GOING to say the G8 is really what the GTO should have looked (more) like, but I did a quick search and couldn't find a decent photo of one. Maybe they don't look as good as I first thought...

GTO has as good or not better gas mileage than our cars.

I dunno, the looks of that car just don't do a thing for me......not even a little bit.

Although I am sure it's a strong performer, I'd rather have styling that excites me. I'd get a used C5 Vette long before this if I was in the market for something quick. I am hoping to pick up a used S2k within the next couple of years as my play toy.

Even the 6.0? Possible, I guess...

i think if you are going on back seats, the rx-8 would be the first choice. the most accessible of the three.
