No surprise who the winner is, (missing in the web), the RX8 was tied in the handling department, which I though the Z would be the clear cut winner in that.

Will post the chart when I have a chance.

The end is near.  C/D didn't pick a Beemer for the winner in a comparison test.  :o

Kudos to the Z.

What the heck? I thought the Mustang GT was supposed to be a natural competitor to the 370Z?  ;)

^^ Similar horse power output, should yield similar EPA numbers.
