Z8 owns all other BMW.
But you will win the race.

Kensta335 · 03-16-2009, 01:39 PM

Cab5er · 03-16-2009, 02:22 PM

Win what? you'll win more golddiggas with the 8.

Sam12345 · 03-16-2009, 10:58 PM

The issue with this is that ferrari is ferrari because they make nothing less than a ferrari. A Z8 can't be but so badass if it shares the same badge with said "civics"

i love the z8... i think its a classic!

sounds like a driver's race to me...those mods on a 335i would probably make a bit more WHP than a Z8, and you'll make a bit less power than that due to AWD. the Z8 is lighter than your 335xi too...

i'll respectfully disagree. it is a great looking car, but only an average performance car. and even in the looks department i don't think the Z8 owns all other BMWs. for instance, my brothers Z3 M Coupe turns far more heads than a Z8 ever did, ever does, or ever will...and its a much better handling car,despite being down on power:

Unless of course you race for pink slips... then you'd have Civic and a Ferrari.

I'm not sure what reality you're living in where a Supra, IS300 and an M Coupe get more attention than a Z8. Say what you will about any of those 3 being modded to be faster than a Z8 and sure I could see that...but garnering more attention? No...just...no...

well dude, obviously its just my opinion...and i'm not trying to pretend that its any more than that. on the other hand, growing up in a wealthy community where BMWs, Porsches, MBs, etc. are a dime a dozen, and Ferraris can be seen on every other corner driving around town, i've certainly had my fair share of experiences pulling up next to exotics at traffic lights, or attending meets with cars much "nicer" than my own. and yet, in neither of those situations is my car usually the one to be neglected or ignored by onlookers or attendees...and i was parked next to much nicer/awe-inspiring cars than a Z8. as for the M Coupe, it gets even more attention than my car does b/c of the crazy wheels and super-controversial body styling.

i see where you're coming from in reference to the IS300 in comparison to a Z8. but most Z8's i see are often left unmodified, and beyond the body styling, the Z8 leaves alot to be desired. so i'm not surprised that a clean stock-bodied IS300 with a perfect drop and gorgeous wheels with the perfect offsets would turn more heads.

don't get me wrong, like i said previously, the Z8 is a beautiful car. but by no means is it BMW's pinnacle of design. and yes, put a stock-bodied MKIV Supra OR a Z3 M Coupe next to a Z8, and i believe the Z8 not to be the better looking car IMO.

you may not be sure about what reality i'm living in, but rest assured, i'm living in reality.
