4) S-351

Okay, so afr the 360 is kicking ass! Perhaps you should add the M5 or a half-comparable car. Nothing can be that 395 hp naturally-aspirated V8 though.

[enzo@af]

Well, the M5 was too "sport-sedan" for me...and the Z8 was compared to it in C&D. all performance specs are fairly similar, mind you.

[MBTN]

Nobody seems to like the Z8, I think it's a very nice car, and it is fairly fast too.

[Jay!]

Oooooh. Exotic.

[JD@af]

1) Shelby Series 1 (especially if its the supercharged version!)
2) Ferrari 360 Modena
3) Lotus Esprit V8 (turbo?)
4) Saleen S-351 Mustang

Ya well what are you going to do?

I voted, for the Ferrari of course.

Consider putting this up agian but this time give people more of a selection. Include the CL 500, BMW Z8, One or two Bentleys, an M5, a S7 and maybe a Cobra R if you can.

i take the Lotus.
Its 50 grand less than the ferrari, and almost as fast.
I think the Z8 sucks as a pure sports car, its goal in life is a fast GT, which it does fairly well, bu tI would NEVER buy one.

Ill vote for the 2002 405 Hp Corvette Z06

I'd take a 355 Spyder over any of those.

[Heep]

Yeah, I'd take the 355 Spyder too. The 360 hasn't really grown on me yet, mostly because of the sheer beauty of the 355. It took 4 years after the 355 came out for me to like it more than the 348...I'm kinda slow when it comes to changing my mind about V8 Ferraris. I chose the Lotus because I like it better than the 360, bu less than a 355. Also, if you have the Lotus, people see you as driving the top of the line, most expensive Lotus. When you have the 360, you are seen as the poorest of the Ferrari owners...know what I mean?

[MBTN]

No, when you drive a 308, you are a "poor" Ferrari owner.

[carmaster]

How could you be seen as poor if your driving a 180,000 dollar car? Unless your Bill Gates.

I think the Z8 will be one nice car to have in 20 or 30 years, just because of the limited numbers, the retro look, I think they will be so hard to get. Even if you don't really like them, you should want one, just so that you can sell it in a few years for more than you paid.
