ride- very nice for a "gt" type car- almost non existent body roll, very little dive or squat
brakes- truly outstanding
acceleration- fantastic
engine sound- intoxicating
handling- nearly excellent, very driver confidence inspiring, but lacks that glued to the road ability because of shorter wheelbase
chasis- super rigid
sports car comparisons: be careful of reading too much into them. the Z8 is a truly unique car.
for example, road and track has a super car decathalon with the z8, porsche, lambo, corvette z06, ferrarri 550M and guess what- Z8 finished dead last. not becuase they didnt like it- reading the comments its obvious they loved it but because they measured, top speed, 0-100-0, skid pad, etc- basically race car/ track car stuff that the z8 wasnt really designed for.
as opposed to these other fine cars, the Z8 was designed to rejuvinate you while you drive. if they could measure that- the Z8 would reign supreme over the others. each one has its pros and cons. depending on what you want, the Z8 could be right for you.
