I gotta go with the 350Z, but I am biased...It goes 14.3 in the 1/4 mile.
I agree with Codee, the SVT Cobra should be on there, I didn't think I could ever own a Mustang, but after driving an '03, it wasn't too bad.
Car and Driver
We're delighted to report that this hardware makes for more than an impressive spec sheet. How does this sound: 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 14.1 seconds at 101 mph? How about 0.88 g of cornering stick, a stopping distance from 70 mph to standstill in 164 feet, and a top speed of 156 mph? That's essentially the same performance as a Porsche Boxster S, which has a base price of more than 50 grand.

Ah, but they do.
I can't wait to see how the RX-8 does under boost. Mazda wanted to keep the engine naturally aspirated partly for reliability reasons, but the new port design and apex seal setup should hold boost a lot better than the old 13B setup.

and i agree fully one the boost issue, the new rotory design is awesome and should really produce some killer numbers, its goign to be hard to decide if I actually are in the market to purchase the z or the rex.

Has anyone noticed the 350z door handles? They look like they were pasted on. Ruins the cars lines IMO

EV0 8 fo sho. It looks good, stock brembos, enkeis, recaros and a boosted 4G63 which already has aftermarket support, I'd have to change the front bumper though. Maybe a 350z if I could slap one of those Greddy Twin Turbo setups on.
