My thoughts exactly, except I still have my 8. The low torque and mpg have gotten to me and honestly the only thing keeping me from a z is that I'm trying to hold out for some concrete info on the next rotary car...namely when it will make an appearance. I don't want to lay out Z money and then only have it a couple of years. Now if the new rotary is still 5 years away, then I'm game for a z.
