Message Mine has been pretty good to me. I enjoy it to cruise in as it's got less power than my TTZ, but it handles better. Stock horsepower is about 300 bhp and that's enough to do 4.6 to 60 and 0-100 is just about 11 seconds. (It's about 600 lbs less than the Z) It could definitely use more power since I'm used to driving a stage V TTZ...it's never enough is it?

My problems so far: Replaced slave cylinder and upgraded clutch line to stainless steel line. Stripped exhaust stud that was mostly my fault as I stripped it when I put in the test pipe. That's about it so far. Couple things I'd like to do, but car has been as reliable as my Z for me and I've now had the car for about a year and a half. (Purchased November 2001)

If you get one, I'd suggest an S4 or S4s. These had power steering and a bit more power than the older ones. With the S4 you can upgrade to the S4s programming and get a bit more power. As with most turbo cars, you can squeeze just a bit more, but mostly I just cruise with mine.

If you have any more questions, contact me off list at alxlee@twinturbo.net...don't want to take up too much forum space with non-Z stuff.

:those instead of an NSX. But I would imagine that they are not the reliable and very expensive to fix. Care to comment on them. I absolutly love the looks of the mid 90's lotus, although I hear the performance is just so-so.
