Which has the better reliability and appreciation?

I am looking at either the BMW Z8 including Alpina vs the 2011 Speedster when funds become available and like the looks of both models. I don't know very much of either the BMW or the Speedster but something tells me the Porsche is the winner between the two.

Porsche is the better car, neither is an investment.

Well, looking at the msrp, they look like both have appreciated quite a bit, same with FGT and 911R

Not looking as an investment per se but one that would not depreciate as most new cars do, but not all new cars depreciate.

All new cars depreciate from new, some faster than others, and some later begin to regain value. Trying to figure out what to buy guessing which will be which is a fool's errand...........
