First of all, from a former mazdaspeed3 owner the MS3 outperforms the rx8 on every level. yes even on the track so i would put it as a step ahead even tho the interior on the rx8 is more refined. second of all the ms3 is a great car. its engine is lively the turbo doesn't have the worst lag but once it gets going it pulls, and pulls hard. and torque is everywhere from low to high (6000-6500) RPM. oh and did i mention it pulls hard and butt dyno feels like it has more power then most cars on road.
The Mazdaspeed 3 is a great reliable ready to go, destroys any civic kind of car, i wish i still owned it. but it is a hot hatch 4 banger teenager turbo. i was there i owned it. im not dissing the car in anyway i love it to death and i cannot compare it to the 370z yet because i have yet to test drive it.
just backin my ms3 up
but from what i have been reading on this forum/seen on youtube/etc your test drive of the 370z was a car that was not broken in fully, i think u should come back to a used 370z possibly. Torque steer does suck on FWD therefore i am excited to hopefully get into a 370z with RWD and a more aggressive styling then a hey look at me im a bright red hatch that is prly being drivin by a teenager pull me over. That was me back when i had it btw.
just my 2 cents on MS3
