Message	It also has the 6 speed that is quite fun to drive. I was very surprised when I drove it the first time. It is much quicker than I thought it would be, although I don't think it is quite as fast as my stageII. Down low there is no competition, I find it is much slower with the traction control on. Mid-range however, it starts to pull pretty hard. Again, it's close, but compared to my stage II, the Z has the edge. www.chrisguerrieri.com
