At one time Ford owned at most, 33% of Mazda and currently owns about 20%.

Edit: now owns only 13%

Now you sound just like the hater that started all this. Mazda makes a good car. I've owned a few (3 Miatas and a Mazda 3) and they've at least been the equal of Nissan in the quality, Fit and finish dept...They're also great drivers.

nogoodname · 06-15-2009, 11:17 AM

well, the main point was Z > RX-8 !!!!

^^ LOL...coudnt help it....my bad

Hey wats up guys. I'm new to the sight n jus wanna spread the luv. Lol
I just think that the hate mainly derives from anti asian racism and knowing the
U.S. makes inferior cars. Then others just hate cuz they can't afford any of these
New cars n r stuck buying 02 camaros n 04 mustang cobras. Lol.
Then the german snobs are the guys who paid 50g's on a car thinkin they were
Gonna outclass n outperform everyone on the block. Then come to find out that
They got dusted by a car 18 grand less than there's.
I'm not a hater. But I do care about quality. I own 2 altimas. 98 gxe n an 08 3.5se sedan.
In a couple months I will own the 370z. Giving up my 98.
All I can say is after two 45 minute unsupervised test drives of the Z plus test driving
Camaro and genesis coupe. None of these cars can come close to the performance of the Z.
Compared to the genesis coupe the Z would be considered featureless n not as
Comfortable. But its driving dynamics are unmatched by any car up 2 50k.
Its easy to feel when u drive it that the z is something special.
I can't sspeak about the mustang but judging by videos. It can only compare in a straight line.
And from wat I heard. That mustang track pack can only pull ,95g on the track.
Nissan pulls 1.01g on the track n .98g on the road. I don't hate on any other car.
But facts r facts. That 3rd gauge in the Z is awful. But every pony cars interior looks
Crazy dated. Everyone is saying how good mustang looks now inside.
But at the auto ahow it looked like a reformed version of the same POS interior.
I guess those are the details that insight hate? But hey, if pony cars r wat u like?
Then go for it. You can customize the interior n there's plenty of aftermarket performance parts.
If u like barbie doll plastic in ur car? More power to u.
N lastly they can go on all day about how they think the Z is ugly. But what they
Gonna have to deal with is that the Z is Techologically 2 generations ahead of
Any current pony car. And is only rivaled in technology by German makes. Lol
So pony lovers should be the last to hate cuz they not even on the same planet
As the Z. These are not opinions. Do the research. Its fact.

Oh yeah I have to agree that mazdas r excellent cars. But my only gripe with the
RX8 is extremely low torque and a very sub par auto tran option for that car.
N lastly the design is becoming very much dated. But the mazda line up is very good
For the most part.

QWERTY keyboards are your friend.

Werd to the QWERTY....

k20z3 · 06-16-2009, 03:55 AM

I honestly think I love all sports cars, I don't consider a mazda RX8 looking good, i think thats ugly.

The Z's are I believe one of the "sportiest" looking cars to be made, I drool when I see one...

Got Z? · 06-16-2009, 10:24 AM

Just thought I'd throw in my $0.02...

I just dumped my '07 Mustang GT for the 370Z. I am an avid autocrosser and track day enthusiast. I have won two regional championships in Mustangs, for what they are they are very good handling cars, even with the live rear axle. The styling of the first S197 Mustangs was perfect, the newer version (2010) looks a little too "euro" for what they represent. However, they don't hold a candle to the new Z. Styling is downright sexy and the car handles like a dream. As a matter of fact, the stock sport Z handles better than the Mustang after I invested about $4K in the suspension.

I love the newer Mustangs, the new Camaro is beautiful, and the Challenger is a beast. I just think that the whole package from Nissan is head and shoulders above them all. It has enough of everything, and not too much of anything. This is a great stepping stone up to the level of the Porsches and higher dollar automobiles.

Again, just some input from someone who has a lot of experience in one of the cars being discussed.

Jim

Pretty much in the same boat as you. Have a Mustang GT and have just been blown away by the newest Z.

But it's not like a new-time love affair, as I had one back in the day. I'm just rekindling an old flame!

Now, to get the money together... let's see, Vegas trip this weekend... maybe Z soon thereafter?

Wow!!

Wait, I heard two kids at GameStop a few months ago argue about whether the PS3 was better than the Xbox froma technology standpoint. Just reminded me of those GT-R guys.

Those GT-R guys must have psychological issues.
