I drove the Z and it was nice but the 8 has better interior. The Z has lots of low end torque but the 8 engine felt like a supersport motorcycle engine. Plus the 8 is more practical and you can get a much better deal on a left over 04 right now.

Go read some of the posts in the Canadain forum regarding this issue.

read his post again. He's saying winter tires should be OEM for him.

As for reliablility, just hit 37,000 miles a couple weeks ago and I have had 0 engine issues.

Only thing that annoys me is my temp control and fan control ***** keep breaking.

8 is more comfortable overall as well. supension, steering, shifting, brakes, seem to work together better. seats are more comfortable and better visibility than the z.
