Is there an impressions thread or anything since I think you just got this? Sure would like to know your on track impressions once you take her there.

As for the Z8, yup, she's a real looker! But as others have said it's a different kind of fun from the Z4 or Z4M, and not something you can, or really would want to, take to the track.

Kind of crazy and fun thread though!

Yeah, I did think about the z8 conversion kit for about 10 seconds, but man... those fender gaps are scary...

the z8 is suuuuuuuuch a sexy car in person. Lower it, wheels, re-inforce the frame and then slap a blower on it

Z8 is awesome, especially the non-Alpina ones with the S62 M5 motor. But as said before, not as dynamic to drive and fears about the strut towers. My friend had one, and sold it for this fear, and has been trying to buy it back for years because there is no other car like it. Gone through 3 other ///M cars since them, but nothing is the same as a Z8

Couldn't agree with you more. And add to it that the the Non-Alpina versions have basically stayed @ or gone up in value (for the good clean ones) over the last 8 years...

Pretty funny about the blower idea, I almost felt like the car couldn't handle much more power than what it already had.
