Which one /o/? G35 350z or an rx8 as a second car?
>>
neither. None of those are very good and all of them use quite a bit of oil.
>>

Well what would be a good affordable used rwd car. Besides the miata
>>
That's all shit choices.

Is this a bait thread.

G35 and 350z use the same underpowered and oil drinking VQ or VH or whatever engine designation.

The RX8 is a rotary and unlike the RX7 it can't be turbocharged because it's designed even worse and the compression is too high to do anything with it.

>>14635664
A Lexus IS or GS-anything is the first and only car that comes to mind. Reliable Toyota engines and comfy, neat interiors and decent suspension.

S2000, Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, 370z
>>
>>14635675
S2000 would be a good choice also.

Even if you get the AP1 you can still put coiled ovaries on it and it handles like it's on rails.

250hp and short gearing for lots of meme-power enabled fun too.
>>
>>14635682
the AP1 I drove was one of the most electric sports cars I have experienced. handling is awesome, and the engine is so even better
>>
>>14635657
>>14635675
why would recommend a 370 but not a 350?


>>14635668
>0-60 in low to mid 5s
>underpowered
>>
>>14635698
It's a 3.5L making like 280hp

And the car weighs a ton and a half, its by no means light.

It's more of a straight line/drag car than a track car and that's where Nissan fucked up with it.
Also the VDC is a meme.
>>
>>14635698
interior is a lot better, handling is a lot better and the transmission is a lot smoother. overall they are just a lot better of cars
>>
>>14635646
RX8, much cooler car
>>
It's a second car. Nothing wrong with a Dorito engine as a second car.

I'd say RX8
All the shit everyone else is posting qualifies as Sports car that you can easily DD.

If I had the luxury to afford a second car I'd buy a Dorito and track prep it. Fully strip interior, just race kar it.
>>
>>14635714
Well now that you say it, would a fb rx7 be ok
>>
>>14635714
It's his 2nd car which I assume DD and not a track/project car.

I wouldn't want a car with gearing so short you do 3.5k rpm at 60mph in the highest gear + averaging like 10-15mpg

Not swifts but if it's your second car then an rx7 would be better than an rx8 simply because the rx 8 trades some sportiness for practicality. It was suppose to be a everyday driver rotary while the rx 7 is a sports car. I wouldn't go for an fb though, a nice fc will be a world better and still in your price range.

3500 RPM in a 1.3L engine at 100kmh.

Thats not Bad.
