The 370's steering feels heavy by comparison. The lack of power and torque really put a damper on an otherwise great car. I see them racing the RX-8's on the Rolex Sports Car series and makes me wonder what could have been had they used the 20B like in the race cars.
Exactly everything you said. I take it back the the 8 felt MUCH better at handling than the Z, but I still stand by my statement that it's the best handling car out of the 5 sports cars i've owned.

It was definitely for the people who cared more about how much fun you had during the trip rather than how fast you got there.

Either way there's no point about arguing over a car that is no longer in production i'm just saying that maybe this FR-S is similar to the 8 but maybe even better since its using a traditional engine rather than a wankel.

PS. there's nothing like revving to 10k in the rx8
