Personally, I'd rather go for the M5, for then I can frighten myself and more than one friend at the same time.  The M5 offers the same engine, and almost all of the incredible performance and handling prowess.  It's much cheaper, too.  Or, for the same money plus another 20 grand or so, I'd take an F360.  But if you have fantasies of being 007, then nobody does it better than the Z8.

If the Z8 has its top up, the overall futuristic shape is suddenly dulled up. It seems that this car has been designed more with its top down rather than its top up...no good for the Philippines then, huh?
Even the darn interior (steering wheel included) are retro! If you're just sick and tired of retro looks, then stay away from this car, aside from that it looks quite pretty. Take note of the center mounted speedo and tachnometers...just like a TVR?
