Default Yee_ha!

Is it a Z or have you moded it? Man that black over red is awesome!! What color is interior? You may be an old hand at driving these but you had better be going dead straight when you do a WOT run to max rev in shifting to 2nd cause it will definitely get loose till the nannies correct it. So many folks try driving this like a lesser hp car & end up in the bushes

It really gets to be fun when you hit the rev limiter in 3rd and 4th. Hitting the limiter in second gear occurs at sort of a low speed.
