I bought the Z for it combination of styling and respectable performance. I still think it's the best looking sub $40 sports car on the planet. That's enough of a reason to love my car... and keep it.
no i definitely did my hw or else id be in a vette instead. i didn't buy the car for the straights. i got it for the twisties and drifting, plus the styling cues. when i do want to punch it on an empty stretch of road, it's just been boring is all i'm saying

Should invest in one of these if you want straight line acceleration thats fun.

I hear ya bro... I wasn't talking about you specifically. I've just seen so many threads where people are complaining that there Z isn't faster.

It's a fun car to drive but it's not a super car or a race car. It's a super sexy, middle of the pack sports car. Love it for what it is. Don't hate it for what you want it to be.

drifting it will be interesting when the VDC is never fully off. Have you tried drifting it? Im guessing itll be pretty hard to hold with stock hp and that KK a$$.

it drifts and holds well in wet or dry, obviously more throttle needed and much rubber burning in the dry, but it does very well drifting except for the VLSD. it sucks because it overheats very quickly in 10-15 minutes and i have to just park and let it chill out until it's cool enough again. i'd just be sliding and then suddenly it'll let go and then it's randomly open diff time. So a 2way lsd would make the car perform a lot better. I drove my friend's LS6 swapped 240 with a 1.5way and man, that **** was so easy to drift. every time i thought i was at the point of spinning out (like i would have in the z), it just kept going and going cause of that lsd. the vdc supposedly not being fully off doesn't bother me cause i dont feel it bogging or watever. i dont use vdc regardless.

this is a local park near me. just messing around
