A Z3 tried to race me and my dad in the Griff, and we slaughtered him, A Z3 has the same engine as a Z4 doesn't it?

He just looked at me and said (looking at his grey, boring pile of shite), " Why did you not get one of these instead? Moved on a lot since Z3. Better than TVR's all round". I paused for a moment to think of a clever answer...., " off, knobhead!" was my reply.

This has to be the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Coming from a bmw background myself!! had an E36 M3 then a ZM Roadster which by the way shat all over the Z4!! But wasn't a patch on my Tusc.

It surprises me the optimisim BMW drivers have, Oxbow for him to even say that shows how pissed off he is someone has a better, faster and far more exclusive car than he has. T*&%er!!

P.S. he says going off at a tangent because the main thread is so laughable, why are they ALWAYS grey or some monochrome shade thereof? They look like the MR MAJOR of the sports car world! Rich...

Also true RichB.
Think I said that in the M3 bla bla bla post.
At least they are the same colour as the clothes the drivers are wearing.

The Z4 didn't have a little badge with 5.0 on it did it??? If so he's probably right... thats the Hartage upgrade with the M5's 5litre engine i think.

They probably were talking about roof times...i.e. coupe to convertible, otherwise I think they are Aliens!

Only way any Z4 is gonna beat a Tuscan is if the Tuscan is clamped! and the Z4 is steam-catapulted.

Read about that in the mags a couple of months ago, pile of poo they said, certainly not a sports car more of a cruiser, oh and the plastic bolt-on side skirts and air dam looked faintly rediculous Oh and even that would be pissed on by a Tuscan. Didn't you see the 0-100 time the Tuscan posted in the recent 0-100-0 tests? In case you did it was 8.something seconds, which is fast !!! Rich...

Z4M,

The Hartge version is far too much money for anyone to waste(spend) their money on....truly if you had upwards of 60K to spend on a sports car would you buy an Hartge Z4?? No thought not.

At least the chap in my office who was driving the M3 from the original post had the self-efficacy to say that the conditions were more suitable to him and the Tusc backed out at 80 mph so it wasn't a true race anyway.

This Z4 driver sounds like a total knobhead. Absolutely no way he truly beat a Tuscan. He'd struggle to beat a Honda S2000 I reckon.

Its a BMW thing. They are ALL driven by certain kinds of people.

A friend of mine was chatting to me recently about a competition he had entered.

The prize is a Z4. He said he would sell it if he won it because only w*nkers drive BMWs. And he's right.

Hey I've got a BMW... (X5 baby carrier company car though)

And a griff, no stereotypes please... personally I'd like to have a boxster, 911, BMW Z4, etc, etc, etc

Just choose to keep TVR as a personal preference...

Why worry about it, you know with his attitude, he's a T*****, and he probbaly knows it to... He'd also probably a T***** whatever he drove.
