    Unfortunately I have to vote for the Mustang.

    One of my best friends is a die hard Mazda/rotary guy, and bought an RX8. He traded it in after having it a month because it was a slow turd with no soul... He replaced it with a Mazdaspeed 6, that now has over 400 HP!

    RX8 by default. There are only two production year mustangs I would pick over any car and this isn't one of them.

    Mustang.. Kinda lets you know what the buying public think of a car when a '97 Mustang is in the same price range of an '09 Mazda

    Performance be damned... I'd take the RX-8 on looks alone. Never was a big fan of that style Rustang.

    I have always HATED that body of Mustang... It looks worse than an F-56, they feel and handle like crap, and started to fall apart in the showroom....

    But, the RX8 was such a let down, it doesn't have enough good about it to vote for.

    Mustang, even though I like the RX8, when they are full race prepped they do OK. :)

    Well that was a close race (votes, not the cars or the Mustang would have killed the RX-8)
    I too love the look of the RX-8 but it is too slow. I thought the some what rare IRS Mustang might take it.

    Anyway. Are you ready for some Porsches?

    In this corner
    2000 Porsche Boxster

    OR (the opponent)

    1983 Porsche 944
    View attachment 8396

    Fight :cornut:

    (Before you ask. I could find a 944 turbo under $10k)
