Yes, agreed, guys! I'd give up my Cuda, 911, and new 2500 Ram for a straight up trade! That car when it came out was the "dream" for me. Sat in one at Mecum in DFW when I sold the Mustang there and it was pretty sweet. I owned several Z3s and always dreamed of the Z8. And like you, wish they weren't holding their values!
Maybe after I get done with the 507 I need to jamb it down to Tim's house for a photo shoot with your neighbor's-8!?
Let the fun begin!
Cheers
Dave
