I drove a Z8 and found it to be quite confining. If you want a tail happy roadster with a massive V8 motor consider buying a Superformance or Shelby continuation Cobra.
IMHO at the end of the day the Z8 will always be remembered as one of BMW finest cars. A wonderful example of automotive engeneering. Compare it to the Porsche being built in its time frame.....
For years I have always been told that Bimmer = BMW car, Beemer = BMW motorcycle, and I travel extensively to every major city in America. Better tell the rest of the Californians!
I'll bet you can confirm/deny this easily on one of the BMW forums.
