I'll echo the thoughts about the RX-8 being more nimble, although I always felt some flex in the body, given the lack of B pillars. I prefer the Z. It feels planted, hugs the curves, and has more power than the Mazda.
Oh yeah, and the gas mileage...I managed no more than 18 mpg on the highway in the RX-8. I get 26 mpg highway driving with the Z. Not the main selling point of the car obviously, but that's a big difference. Fewer trips to the pumps as a result.
