: 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. : Alan
