In high school I had a dream job - worked at a performance auto repair place in Venice, CA. I did tune-ups, oil changes and brakes - oh and a LOT of mopping as we has sparkling white bays to impress our well-heeled customers. During those three years I drove a couple lambos, a few ferraris, tons of porsches and bmws, etc.
Most disappointing was the Ferrari GTS 308. I knew the car from Magnum PI, but the tranny was so frickin' notchy and the thing rattled...ew.
Favorite cars I've ever driven (from back in them "olden" days - the early 80s) were a 930 TT Porsche and a BMW M1.
Anyway, the Z is nothing like the Italian sports cars IMHO. Far more German-feeling.
