Many of the same issues discussed here were put forth at the time the early E31's (my car) were produced. Too high priced, too heavy, not a true racecar, etc. Well, I would like to hear from anyone out there that has 131,000 miles on their Ferrari (and yes, people talked about how UNRELIABLE the 8 series were also). I don't doubt the Z8 will be able to last and be a daily driver because it is a BMW. People that buy a car and then set it in the garage to look at should just build replica cars. Look at it this way.. near Ferrari performance WITH German engineering and reliability at a SMALLER price. Hmmm.....sounds like a darn good combo to me. MY .02USD worth. As far as the Porsche's go, yes I think they are good cars but will they ever design one that doesn't remind me of a frog in heat?

: if they manage to get the US price down below 110K then they we'll have a goood competitor for less money than the ferrari.
