370Z Sport Package vs Mazdaspeed 3 GT vs S2000 vs Cayman S vs Mazda Rx-8

Here is my input......all cars listed are RWD, n/a, and are considered a sports coupe (don't know if the 8 is considered a coupe) except the MS 3, so why consider a lemon to 4 apples? Agreeably the MS3 maybe be more bang for the buck and maybe faster with a chip, but seriously as everyone has said before these are different cars for different people. I'd say the MS3 is comparable to the likes of a FI econo box like the evo, sti, srt-4....it's for people who want a fast car, but also like the extra room for friends and luggage. There is obviously bias in this test, but hey if you own and really like one of the cars in the test, it's to be expected.

I'm also guessing that image is also another factor, some people may want to attract other people that are into street racing, others may just want to show that they have deep pockets. Either way, choose what appeals to you and your lifestyle. I wanted to be a racer boy and liked all of the typical racer boy cars. Now that I'm over that phase, just give me a 7spd 370z and I'll be happy.

Also consider what will you be using it for. For me my mind was always "need a M/T car so I can be cool and add 500000000hp to it"....then I got my facts straight, I don't street race, I drove m/t once for a day and I'm too lazy to shift, and I'm not going to the extreme end of modding performance wise.
