350Z's arent all they are cracked up to be but they are quicker than the RX8!
They're not? That's why they run 14.1 stock and a 03 GT runs around a 14.0 (Debateable). But yeah they aren't that great of car *sarcasm*.

Between the two cars it would come down to driver.

I ran one that put down a 13.9 in 90* humid weather next to a 13.9 run of mine. We both trapped at 101. Not sure if it was stock though. That was my first run and it was right after I drove all the way there. I ran a string of 13.6's that night - AFTER I already ran a 13.58 in 75* cool weather no humidity with less mods. I feel like I coulda ran 2-3 tenths faster at least - so that Z car probably was a 13.7 car on a cooler night. Still don't know if its stock though so I suppose my point is mote.

Yeah and they cost as much as a Cobra, which would kill the Z
