Hi Ron,
Your final paragraph about the F360, Diablo, etc. sparked a memory. If I'm not mistaken, one key argument in Clarkson's negative review of the Z8 was that he said the car didn't know what it was, a roadster or a supercar. I suppose that if I were to do a few laps in a Diablo and then switch to a Z8, I may be a little disappointed as well. We should create a new "super roadster" car class so the Z8 can be properly placed.
Also, I can't wait for BMW to release the Z10 ED. It will be interesting to see how they take the Z heritage and give it a complete supercar treatment. Then again, they could also just put their M1 Hommage concept into production and quiet everybody down immediately. And I've just noticed that the picture gallery here doesn't have any photos of the M1 concept I can link to, so I'm off to put some up.
