The Z8 is not intended to compete directly with the 360 or 996TT. Those are lighter mid and rear engine coupes that handle and ride completely different than the Z8. The Z8 is a front engine high-performance luxury GT car. The Z8 is more of an everyday driver with a larger more comfortable interior and plenty of boot space. A better comparison for the Z8 would be Aston Martin Vantage, MB600SL, or even Jag XKR. This is no knock on the Z8, it is a great automobile for its intended GT market.
