Z8 in the marina today

[Asolo3j]

BMW Z8 in the marina today. I've only seen 2 others... pretty neat
Parked next to it was a nice M3 (don't care for those wheels)

 

[Ron]

There are a couple at least around here.

There is a guy up the street with one. I lust after it every time we go by. I saw a Z3 parked next to one and it just dwarfed it. the 8 is a lot bigger then they look

Oh, I thought it was *IN* the Marina. That would have made better pics

Looks nice..... What's the competition on the MB side? SLK?

wow, such a beautiful car. There was one in a local BMW showroom and I'd stare at it every time I was in there....

The Z8 is a Fisker design and it was produced for only a couple years around 2000-2002 or 2003. Its closest MB competition based on displacement, power, & price would be the new SL63 AMG...although the MB has it beat by over 100 hp and 100 lb-ft (that's what 9 years of product development gets you).

Really, the SL63..... I'd like to say i'm usually on top of these things, I guess I missed that one!

MB has such a huge product line....I'm always amazed when I surf their site. The AMG's are amazing machines. Not too sure about the QA/QC but then again who am I to talk as a repeat Rover owner...

 

[EJB90]

Yea the G55 AMG 0-60 in 5.7 sec.

Pretty darn fast for a breadbox!

 

[mgreenspan]

how about that new pontiac G8? 0-60 in 5.3... wakka wakka wakka...

0-60 in 3.7 seconds.
yeah.

The Z8 is one of the most beautiful cars ever built. They aren't actually much of a sporting vehicle, but my word, they look good and feel good cruising.

Just stay off the track and it's a hell of a ride.

Cheers,

Don't feel too bad, IIRC all the Alpina Z8s are slushboxes.

It's true.
