when a z8 came out and the pricing was anounced, i thought that the car wasnt worth its' price.
however after that, seeing different pictures and reading more about the car, ive come to appreciate it a lot more than in the beginning.
in my humble opinion i dont consider it to be a 'two seater sportscar' just like i dont consider an m5 to be a sportscar either, so i find completely irrelevant how well both of these cars perform on the racetrack.
i love m5's and z8's interiors, they are masterpieces in their respective classes. i like their looks, power, brakes in everyday use and cornering on common roads. i like a lot of things about these cars, but i dont believe in their virtues as sportscars.
my father who owns an m5 goes even further and calls an m5 "a powerful and comfortable sports sedan, great for a family use". say, something like a 750i, but with manual box and smaller and less official.
as for the sportscars...porsche 911 gt3 is a sportscar, lotus elise is a sportscar, mitsubishi lancer evo6 is a sportscar, f360 is a sportscar, etc, but in no way an m5 or z8 are.
