I'd get the Porsche but the Z8 will probably be worth more later since it will be discontinued very soon.

Turbo all the way. And I'd love to live in a town where Porsches were "run of the mill", those lines are sweet to look at.

My friend has a Z8. It is the most beautiful car ever. It was built to be a classic and will be worth something someday. The Porsche is just about speed, the Z8 is a collector's car. KEEP it!

The Z8 is meant to be saved! It's not the kind of car that should be replaced as soon as another car can beat it on the track.

Keep the Z8. It's special. Shit, there's no way the guy's dad is ever gonna get any real use out of the turbo. He'll probably kill himself with it if he tries. Z8 is the shit!
