Has anyone else experienced this? Although the movie just came out, more than once now, I've been driving the Z8 and people from the sidewalks have yelled how they "love" the car, "what is it?" and "looks like a modern Cobra from the movie Ford v. Ferrari.
You've got to start hopping in and out of the car like Damon did in the movie! The last yell I got was "nice Z8"!
So fun, you guys are making me miss mine!

I can understand how an observer would see a Z8 as the modern interpretation of a Cobra.
2000 Red over black
heavily modified for performance. Although, not to the level of GM's car
The last yell I got was from a gorgeous lady walking down the street with her dog, who said, "I love your car." Life with a Z8 is good
I get this most time without fail either from people on the sidewalks or at the traffic lights " Wow what a beautiful car .. is this the latest BMW model?" People were just gobsmacked when I told them this is a 2003 year car. Yes, life is Good with Alpina Z8 and the only one RHD in the world.
I do get the "Nice Z8" every now and then, but most often the question is: Is that a new BMW?Originally Posted by Peter Koh

For me it's usually, "What the #$%@ is a guy like you doing in a car like that?!"
One time, way back in the early days, oh around 2004 as I recall, I was filling the tank at the local gas station and a guy walked up to me and asked "so, do you have to be a drug dealer to afford this?". I responded with a polite "no" while thinking the guy was a bit of a jerk because of the tone of his voice. But otherwise, a lot of people don't really know what it is and just stare. Sometimes a boy might shout "nice Z8!" but its very rare for grown-ups to do that. Maybe Canadians are too reserved?
