350Z is a nice car to drive in stock form...Dunno about the 370z Yet but THere nice looking...And as far as the Genesis...I like it, I'd def rock one.

The RX8 is kinda underpowered but WTH it is a rotary...Not known for their torque. The fact that you couldn't induce oversteer with the throttle is attributed to the tight chassis and has made it quite popular with the SCCA racing crowd.

My 350Z didn't hang it out to well either. These kinds of sports cars take a roadracing technique similar to a 125 or 250 GP bike. Wide cornering arc to keep us speed and maximize mid corner, keep it in line and driving forward as opposed to the front end heavy American muscle cars that are best when using all that extra HP spinning the rear to finish a corner ala Superbikes....
