As for the G35C looking better on paper, I see this:
G35 Coupe 6 spd - 3,435 lbs
RX-8 6 spd - 3000-3050 lbs (estimated)
nuff sed.
Lets see what I said..
"On paper, I like the G35C more. The only thing I like about the RX-8 is its lower weight."
Hmm mike, wtf does that sound like to you. sounds to me that i really liked the RX-8's lower weight, but otherwise I liked the G35 Coupe's specs. I dont mind the 30hp and like 100 extra lbs/ft of torque. Or the Infiniti name/serivice. Or a few other things. Mainly I think the RX-8 is ugly and the G35 Coupe is anything but.
