8C/Z8 are indeed for the 50+...
The BMW E30 M3 did appeal young people. Just like the Giulia GTA.....a normal
car gone mental and challenging the more arrive, exclusive and expensive sports cars
driven by the 50+.
The horsepower race was triggered by the E36 M3, which suddenly jumped from 4-cylinder to 6-cylinder power plant. A BMW M3 has quite a different type of appeal as the M6/Z8.
I would prefer a lightweight, rearwheeldrive Alfa Romeo sedan/GTV which shouts anarchy.
Drive it like a hooligan and wearing a big grin. 8C is a bit too boil-in-the-bag in comparison.
Cars like the VW GTI, Saab 900 turbo, Alfa Romeo 1900, Audi UrQuattro are loved because
they have been the first transforming normal road cars in roadburners. Alfa Romeo made
the first sports sedan and in my opinion Alfa Romeo is a car manufacturer since the 60s
of mass produced cars for the young and the young at heart not exclusive sports cars. The appeal of a GTI for young people is not its performance but GTI did became a cult.
