a 350z Is another story. That car is soooo fast aka the G35

I would rather have a 350Z for the same price.
I love mustang interior

Then you are easy to please.

The pre 05 mustangs interior is a joke. It looks descent but the seats sucks, leather is awful, the plastic is cheap, the ergonomics are terrible, shifter is located oddly, it develops rattles and creaks, seat belts suck, etc.

The mustang sells because its cheap, looks good, V8, RWD, and makes the right noises from the exhaust.

The RX-8 is one of the coolest looking cars, IMO. I think it has a nice mix of refinement (not "outlandish" like the WRX-STi's wing), looking different (hard to mistake for some other car), fast (to me, just like the Chrysler CrossFire, the RX-8 looks like it'll beat just about anything on the road) , and toughness (as in it looks like it'd go thru a brick wall unscathed).

What, so can look down a 3 foot long tunnel to read your gauges, maybe if the lights just right.
They both suck ass.

my car never rattled or creaked
seats were more comfy then most seats I've ever sat in...

and the shifter was in a great spot for me...

i guess its all what the driver likes...

I wouldnt change a thing in my cars interior...

yea i think the shifter in the mustang is good, and the interior is fine by me, but the rx-8 interior is simply awesome. especially with red or blue accented steering wheel and leather.

yea the 05-07 GT's, hate the gauge cluster. i dont wana have to stare thru a telescope to see my gauges

I was between a GT and a 350z before I decided against the 350z... impractical really. Friggen 2 seater. (not that our mustangs can fit alot of people, but 4 uncomfortably is better than not going anywhere at all) also, we are faster from a dig =D

As long as youre happy thats all that matters, but you should really go check out some other sports cars and see what a real interior looks like.

Dont get me wrong I love my mustang, it looks awesome, is plenty comfortable, was cheap, and for the $$ you cant find a better peformance value.
