Like someone said the merc has a hard top for gods sakes to boot. Just not acceptable. I thought I would always be a bmw guy-Loved the pure performance they used to offer but I have to say sometimes it takes them getting bitch slapped back to reality for them to regain some of their original passion and get back on track

I hope this post was a joke? Because just the first two statements that you made here make it clearly obvious that you know nothing about the BMW brand.
In what world has a Z8 ever been a competitor for a SLK AMG? Do you even know what a SLK is? A SLK is a competitor for a Z4 and if there were a M variant to the Z4 then that would be a competitor for the slk AMG.
And also as far vehicle design and weight go, sure, if you want to believe that
40 pounds is the weight of a seat then fine, but have common sense in the fact that the M6 would not be the same size vehicle if it were a roadster. I'm sure BMW has enough engineering expertise to know that they can't just remove two seats and call it a roadster....they would have to make the car smaller which would likely compensate for the weight difference.
Seriously a Z8 is a slk competitor?
