Went to Ferrari dealer...(more) (archive)

The Z8 is a very special car but after looking at the Modena I must say the Z8 might be overpriced.
Interior and transmission (F1 based shifts ..etc) of the Modena are 10 leagues above the Z8. Exterior looks are based on taste, so I am not discussing the looks.
But if BMW things they have build a high-tech machine they need to go and talk to Ferrari.
Both have 400bhp but the high-tech transmission alone in the Modena makes it way more desirable than the conservative 6 speed of the Z8.
Just a small observation...not making the Z8 bad just looking at that price-range...there are very good cars out there with high-tech you would expect from BMW.
The best thing about the Z8 is going to be the engine but the rest is no comparison to other sport cars in that price range especially the Modena.
