Z8 What do you think about this car?

[ejnight]

Not my car just thought it was cool and had never seen one.

I've seen a couple, they have quite a presence in person, I just don't think I'd ever want to buy one.

Future classic, but will be rare and misunderstood for the most part. Kind of like 507.

[Desaevious]

Bond drove one in The World is Not Enough. Not one of my favorite Bond movies but it still makes it a Bond car!

[Mfever]

stunning

I've done a rallye in one, and they are great cars. Parts are most definitely super car expensive, and it hauls ass.

sweet ass car...my neighbor has one and he's always tooling around in it

sounds badass, looks badass, is badass ;)

It's a classic, (at least it will be in some years), it belongs with the MGA
and the lot.

and the Austin Healey 3000

Ive seen a silver one driving around the Portland area before in the same color as this one, might even be the same car. Anyone know any production numbers for these?

IIRC Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear didn't have much good to say about the car.

A guy about a block from me has one - silver metalic with red leather interior + plus color-matched hardtop. I agree that it is a stunning looking car, but it never really left its mark within the performance crowd (despite having a 400bhp M5 V8 under the hood). Its bound to become a classic, for its looks - not its performance.

It is in portland.

Misunderstood?

It's an M5 chassis with 2 doors and no roof, it's got performance.
