Not enough info on these 2 cars yet. How heavy? How is the gearing? How
well will they handle? How tunable is the alignment?
Nissan hasn't gotten anything right since 1972, so I doubt the 350z will be
a big success. Mazda certainly is known for great handling cars, a few too
many gimicks, and poor reliability and torque. If they avoid any 2g RX7
actively bad handling, and stick with what they know from the 3g RX7, it may
be a great car.
I am keeping my eyes on both. Mazda will be favorably classed with the
SCCA, so you can be fairly sure it will be in a class it can win. It looks
like it may be neat, so who knows.
