Angry 1st: RX8, 2nd: G35 Coupe.........3rd: 03 Cobra???

Car&Driver Television did a car comparison on the Mazda RX8 the Infiniti G35 Coupe, and the 03 Cobra. 1st place was the RX8: "Supreme handling, good track times, and Sporty". 2nd Place was the blue Infiniti G35 Coupe: "Also had good handling, not like the rx8 but better than the mustang, excellent stopping power, not as quick as the rx8 on the track". "Now the 3rd place finisher, the most powerful of the 3 by far, fastest track times, quickest in the 0-60 category (4.2 sec.). and the heaviest by over 700 lbs and does the 1/4 in under 13 seconds, which is also faster than the other 2...........the 03 Cobra??? heh...... whatever C&D.

one of the guys did comment on the 4.6l supercharged v8 under the hood. He said it may be the heaviest, might not have the best stopping power because of it's weight, and also might not handle quite as good but the power under the hood makes up for all of this. It did have the quickest track times on the road course, and the fastest from 0-60, and the quickest 1/4 mile. "If you want straight line speed this car takes the cake by far"
