TEST DRIVES...Lexus SC430 and Mazda RX8

OK, so i had some fun today. I went out with my cuz and test drove a couple cars. First i went for the 63k lexus just cause its the only convertable that looks good with the top up and at 300hp on a 4.3liter V8 i thought it would be a fun time. While it is the smoothest car EVER, it didnt feel like it was going anywhere compared to the G. I looked up the time just now and 0-60 is supposidly 5.9seconds.
the RX8 i drove just so i can say i drove one when i argue about how much the suck. I will admit it was better than i expected but not worth the 32k considering the G is only slightly higher. The RX8 wasnt near as quiet as everyone has said but it has absolutley NO power under 4k rpms. i was going 65 in 5th gear and just put it to the floor and went the 67 in about 4seconds. but if u drop it to 2nd then u feel some power. I drove the hell out of it and it was fun but not near as fun or as luxurious as the G.

Anyways, i just thought i'd let you know of my new experiences.
Oh and i went with a buddy and he test drove the GTO, A6 turbo, and X-type Jag last week in Memphis.
