Getting rid of my Z. Any recommendations for a replacement?

Whats so difficult about doing any work on the Z? I wouldn't let that influence dropping it for another car.

That's what I'd like to know. With a CONSULT machine, a few special tools, and the FSM, just about any shade tree mechanic should be able to handle it. Apparently, it's more than the three dealers I've tried can muster.

Bummer. I don't think the camaro is a bad idea though. I'd try to swing for a used SS, but I'm not sure where they stand pricing wise used. My friend has an RS and they're only a bit slower than our cars if thats better suited to your price range.

Another quick thought on the mustang--see if you can hold out for the refresh.


I have a VAG as a DD and the reliability is better than it was historically, but still no way I'd buy one without a dealer nearby.
