Thanks Buzzed if I were ever to get serious I will call you.

I'm a huge fan of these cars. Awesome like the 507 which I can't afford

I'm glad so many like them. That explains the values holding.

I'd never buy a car like this for high performance but would want something with solid running guts which it sounds like this car is.

Great info guys.

The Z8 is really an amazing looking car. It literally looks like a concept car from 15 years in the future for the road (It looked even better than the Z07). But, looks aren't everything...

Here is Top Gear's review for example.

Is that the black one that he kept putting up for sale then deciding not to?

Used Z8
I've seen the one at Brian Jessel a couple times and there's definitely something special about it. It's been there for months though and they've been decreasing the price steadily.

The typical cars aren't FGT money. It's a tough choice on what you want to add to a collection though imho. FGT is a cool car for sure.

That blue/tan looks bad to me. Limits the buyer pool. I suspect that car is $30k over priced for the right buyer. I wouldn't even ride in that car if asked. It's awful to me.
