It's not just that, I could take a curve going 100mph+ and the car felt very stable, predictable.

I would never do that in my s2000, and i've yet to take the same turn in the Z, but I can already tell you I probably wouldn't push this car like how i did the rx8

Just because it is easier to do it in one car, doesn't mean you should assume the other two are less capable. Instead i'd look at it as an opportunity for becoming a better driver and being able to do that in all 3

Sorry I guess that statement came out wrong. I never said it was impossible to do it in the other 2 cars, its just, the rx8 took those turns so naturally, that you literally felt in control 100% of the time.

With the Z and the s2k, the cars felt very wild, kind of hard to describe (im no professional driver or anything)

I guess its something that I can't describe in words sorry
