Message	(holding fire extinguisher) Reliability is how often the car breaks down over time. Otherwise even a chevy chevette (below) could be considered reliable... if you put enough maintenance and money into it it might be able to make at least 200K. I would be impressed if I read 350,000 with just pads and oil changes but I bet that's not the case. I don't think our venerable Z's with their injector problems, connector corrosion, lifter tick, suspension issues, etc. are anywhere near as reliable as today's Hondas or Toyotas. Nevertheless, 350K is MOST IMPRESSIVE and should be celebrated for sure. Congratulations!! Zarcasm(Hfd, CT) view My Technical posts (click here) view My General posts (click here)
