Also, that the RX8 just "skids" through turns? I don't get it.
Never said it's a pos. I described something that is an observed fact. People jumped on it.

So can you explain why certain people find things funny and others dont. Also, can you explain what causes someone to smile or laugh. I'd like to know. Atleast get something out of this. So I can be smarter.

I think what you observed was ABS reacting to your braking while going into a turn. Either way, I don't own either car, nor am I a fan of them. One question though, was this the Z with brembo's?

Actually I can talk about the foundations of that, but it can get pretty long.

First, its there you feel it, everyone on the Z boards talk about, and there is even a class action lawsuit about it.

Then, you say its barely imperceptable.

Around comes the backtracking to you feel.

Now, its an observation.

You've been proven wrong on all accounts, and you still can't get your bullshit to smell right.

Never backtracked. I already wrote a post about how I didn't backtrack. The skip is there definitely but some people may not be consciously aware of it. I already wrote about that I'm pretty detailed and perceptive, and I can point it out to a passenger like the salesperson who was in the car with me.

You have backtracked, multiple times. The proof is litered throughout this thread.

And there is no wheel skip, you are just a moron.

Again, it is not ABS. Normally ABS would let you skid to a lesser degree or maybe even prevent skid. Skidding is what typically happens around corners at high speed. But with the 350z, there was a tiny skip.

I think the best possible explanation that someone came up with is that the suspension is stiff and may not give much. I think this is a possible explanation, because it's not like the front suspension buckles. It's very solid. It might be the way energy is transferred to the point of contact with the street.

You really are retarded. Learn how a car works, take some driving lessons and get back to us.

Yeah, no.

A) no way in hell you were going that fast on a test drive, or making the tights turns at speed needed to cause such an occurance as wheel lift.

B) Yeah its a stiff suspension...but not that stiff, not stock.

C) try again loser.

You fail: F

Exactly. That's the ONLY REASON all these guys jumped on me. Can you fucking believe it? Just go back to my first few posts in this thread. You'll see where and how all the shit started. I didn't instigate anything.

small oil slick on the road maybe? were you on a track when you did this, and were your results in skipping repeatable? If anything, it was probably the tires.

Because he is a stupid little bitch.

He doesn't even respond when he called out on his little e-threat.

Because you are making up a problem that doesn't exist, and an event that never happened.

The tires are Bridgestone RE040 225/45/18. The 350z and RX8 have the same tires and same size. The skip doesn't happen on the RX8.

Where was this test drive that you understeered into a turn like that? Did you take the RX8 onto the same road with that same turn? What were the results?

Absolutely correct. I know a great location in south central LA off of Vermont. It'll be perfect for a local gathering of fans. You up for it?

So basically this went from praising the rx-8 to bashing the 350z...

Yes the RX-8 handles like its on rails but why bash the 350z?

I never bashed the 350z. My description was very objective and in fact matched fast-TL's link to an article that said almost exactly the same things I said. I had not read that article before. My motive was never to bash the 350z, only to report what I observed personally, not what I read or had heard.

At the same time, my motive was not to prop the RX8, and if you review the first several posts, you will see that.
