    I was wondering if anyone's seen one at a track? My boss has a 2002 setting in the warehouse right next to me. I think it's 400hp and being a little 2 seat job it should be fast. For around $90k+ used it better be.
    When I ask him how fast it is he plays it off saying he doesn't let it out much, there are rumors of a big speeding ticket involving a freeway run with another exotic sports car :secret:

    He's driving his jeep for the winter but come summer time I might get a shot at him..

    is it like the Z3 or Z4?...not a fan of those cars in general regardless of brand but they are tiny so if you stuff 400 ponies in there im sure it would be pretty quick...

    The Z8 is bigger and IMO much better looking that the Z3/4.

    I think they are 2002 only, I see them from $80k to $130k

    While I don't worship BMW, I know most models on the road. I had never seen or heard of a Z8 until my boss got his. I just read it has the same all aluminum 5.0 litre that came in the M5. And the car was in the James Bond flick, The world is not enough. I seem to remember a car in the movie but I don't remember it being this car..
