Hey pablo. Welcome to the Aussie side of things.

They have worked hard on improving the Z's ride apparently. From what I read it's much better than when the car first came out. I haven't had an opportunity to drive another one since before I got my 8 though.

wont disagree with that Dave. I recently went for one of the V8 Rides at Calder Park...My impressions of the day and what rip it is aside, I have to say that the Z sounds very much like a V8 Supercar. Very harsh and very metalic.

Uh hurm...mebbe I'm a good driver??? The z in my clash was stock as is my 8, against a driver with experience....my laps were faster he got me on the straight and I got him at the end of the straight under brakes...

The 8 is quicker, sharper and prettier than the z and that's all that matters to me!

Whatever..

i think the track time on the Z and 8 are close if not the same. the funny thing is...Z's 300hp 2 seater vs the 8's 230ish hp 4 seater.... thats funny in that aspect it look like the 8 sould do alot worse. Or does that just shows really how much better the 8 is.

On the same hand, the Z is 1-2 second quicker in Winton. I think DavidM (the driver of that 1:40 lap time) showed me a list of stock cars running at Winton. The Z is lacking a lot of mechanical grip that the 8 has, but it has the V6 that we don't.

It will be a sub 35 car if I have 200kW atw.

Mate, hope you'll let me review your car with 200kw atw. Ok..., now that I am first in line, all you people line up after me.

8 chassis has the talents. I don't!
