Javascript datestring constructor changes timezone

I have a string Date in this format:

\”2012-07-22T08:00:00Z\”

But when i try to create a date from that string:

new Date(\"2012-07-22T08:00:00Z\");  

I get:

Date {Sun Jul 22 2012 01:00:00 GMT-0700}

Looks like it\’s changing the timezone of the date to local timezone. Because it\’s reducing the time in 7 hours (GMT-0700)

How can i keep the date object with utc and in the right time (08:00:00)?

Thanks in advance!!!
