Woohoo. RX8 Beats out the G35C and Mustang Cobra in C&D's April issue.
Link to the scan on the RX8 forum.

They stated the G35 is plaged with understeer and a notchy gearbox. Overall they liked the 4 seat lightweight package of the Mazda. 0-60 in 5.9 seconds is not bad at all.
As a big Mazda fan, I'm glad the RX8 is being well recieved. This is good news for a potential RX7. Stay tuned folks!

5-60mph in 7.5 seconds. I think 5-60mph for the S2K is about 6.7 seconds

In Sport Compact Car (Oct 02 issue), they were comparing the Spoon, the Comptech SC'ed and a stock S2K. 10-60mph for the stock S2K was 6.1 seconds (5.2 for the Comptech SC'ed one). So it takes about 1.5 second to go from 5-10mph? No way!

very questionable how they rate these cars.
i don't like the back of the RX8, and i also wish they stuck with the turbo.
