    They look good and don't have a shitty M20.

      I've only even seen one on the road. It was in the Canton area northwest of Atlanta. They are sweet.

        When the z8 was released it was faster around a track than the Gallardo of its time. It was an aluminum car with a m5's v8. Probably not shit to drive, tho I've never driven one. Truly one of the best, if not the best BMW has made.
        I want a nice set of smoked MHW's (I know, get it line)

          Shop I used to work at a few years ago had one. Really is a nice car, but parts for them are pretty expensive. I have yet to see one roll through the dealer.

              I was fortunate enough to see a Z1 just parked in a parking lot while I was in the country side of Munich. Pretty damn cool. Didnt even see one when I went to the BMW Museum surprisingly. Z8 is leaps and bounds cooler though. LOVE them

                I drive one of the most sleeper Evo's in SoCal, he probably thought it was a Lancer. :p

                It was a joke; as usual insecure r3v waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless take it too seriously. Talking about other guys' dick sizes must mean you have a miniscule weiner. RIGHT?

                    Had a chance to take an Alpina z8 for a joy ride. I declined because I knew I would not return the car back in the same condition. /regret

                      someone refresh my memory..

                      Wasn't there something about the frame and hood fitment if the Z8 took a bump too hard?

                        You do realize my Evo weighs 500 lbs less and makes 50+ whp/wtq more than the Z8 on E85, and only 20 whp less than the Z8 when I'm on 91 pump? ;) If I had 4 extra 200 lb people in my car he might've had a chance.

                          The Alpina Z8 is SO fucking lame.

                          Let's take a Z8, add a whole bunch of really cool, really expensive Alpina parts, and PUT A SLOWER ENGINE IN IT.

                            But according to Wikipedia, it makes more torque at lower RPM's so it's even more fun to drive? :o

                              if you think an automatic is more fun.

                                Because of the hard run-flats they came with, the front strut towers could deform on hard bumps. Instead of acknowledging it was their problem, they sold a $5,000 dealer installed strut bar and called it a "performance package."
