Mazda is thinking about making it AWD and you would think they would make the car with AWD, considering they are looking at 350+ hp. That would be the car to wait for. If they put four rotars in the car, that would be a bad *** street car.

I hope they don't. From what prime says that would cut the power in half.

350z can't turn for its life, if your going to get a G35, wait for the GT-R to be released in 2007, its going to be the same chase as the G35 plus a turbocharger and awd :-D (yes on the two door, the four door right now is the only one that gets awd)

The GT-R that is coming out in 2006 or 2007 is going to be bad ***. The G35 is already the skyline in Japan. That is what they call the G35 over there. Nissan(Infinity) will always make bad *** cars and they would be my second choice after Mazda. I still love Mazda and they are my first choice. The new Toyota Supra next year is going to be the car of the year though. Look to see what they are planning to put under the hood of that thing. That is going to be the car. Isn't this post supposed to be about bad wipers. Oh, by the way, my wipers on my 3S suck.

Turning the thread back on topic, does any1 else seem to be annoyed from the lack of the back wiper. Recently it has been snowing around and I cleaned off the back and turned the warmer(w/e the back thing is called) and the snow would still pile up untill I would accelerate and it would slide off. At first it was pretty fun to see it go onto some guys front bumper when accelerating off a green light, but with rain it is very hard to see behind me.

Do you think it would be diffricult to mount a wiper in the back of the car?

Yes sir, my wipers suck too. Don't know about the snow though. I didn't think about putting a wiper on the back windshield.

I just bought the PIAA Super Sporza wipers for my Mazda 3 to replace the crap one's that came with the car and the new one's work great. They come with a silicone water deterent to put on your windshield, it works a lot like rain-x.

Mazda released some notes about the ms8, its not going to be awd, and said it would most like be turbo charged (went to the rx7club meet in Baltimore, MD) a guy there had a turbo'd 8 that he had done. He was using a t03/04 hybrid and said he had no lag problems and was pushing about 280 to the wheels. If you climb on the rx7club.com website go to northeast forum, and then into the "maryland guys" thread you'll see the pictures from the event. I was the only 3/protege there, but being a former 7 owner it was ok :-D
