Anyone come from an RX8 ?

z has better mpg, reliability, build quality, and power.

somehow mazda missed the mark with that rotary. usually with an engine you can have 2 of the following 3 things. performance, reliability, and economy. the rx8 has literally none of those traits... not a single one.

coming from an rx8, you will want to get intakes and test pipes on a Z to smooth out the way up in the rpm's so it doesn't feel super coarse compared to the rx8.
