Message	like dump 1st take to redline or almost, and then chrip 2nd. Then right after that I usually have no ps. If I turn car off and then on steering will come back on for a min then go out. Usually the next day it will work fine. Maybe has to do w/ speed sensor, but I don't know, and don't have time to figure out. “A common question asked is do 2+2 Z's handle better than 2 seaters? The answer, in theory, is yes. The slightly longer wheelbase should provide better high speed stability and controllability when the rear starts to lose traction.”
