But w/ all pict. have seen, there has never been a BMW like a Z8, It seems to have the most beautiful and interesting interior I have ever seen on any car. Ever! I have gone to Barrett Jackson 6 yrs in a row, so again I should prob wait to actually see it in person. I added this at the end, I had to mention a Bentley Continental R, w/ the mach. dash, but still w/ the deep wood in the doors. This will be hard to top for any car. It was fascinating to sit in and look at and feel! The z8's approach is diff. though. Some cars are extra spcl, I don't know why Aston Martin seems to look very sim to Jag these days, but the passerby effect is quite different. Some would prefer the drive of the 360 SPDR, some (more Amer.), the Z8. The 360 obviously handles much better. And it does sound as if the 360 is more solid. It is unbelievable how much so! I'm sure Z8 is quite impressive though, from all I've read. Esp. when compared to a Porsche, the way they're being made now anyway. The Z8 and 360 SPDR should and will be closely compared. I would love to line up the two of them together, side by side, and give them a look w/ dift. configs + color combos. The Z8 looks to be unattractive w/ the hardtop. Only side view, maybe more bubble profile fr. rear, let's hope. I've seen old Astons or Jags w/ a rounded A-shape profile on top that looked beautiful. It would seem that would be an ideal place to implement a design like that on a small vol. conv. in regards to a removable hardtop. They already have been unconcearned about Aerodynamics, w/ a .39 CD. Even the 360 has only a .36 Conv's and aerody's don't gen. go together. Looks matter the most on cars like these, and the Ferrari's incomplete painted windshield doesn't look too good either!
