General Comments:

This car is quick and handles snow really well (if you put tires other than GT+4's on it).

Extremely reliable - each time it quit on me, it was in the garage.

Good on gas, and you can park it in small places!

However, not roomy enough if you have 2 or more kids!

Faults:

I bought my Z for $400 bucks. It needed new heads due to a blown gasket, which in turn leaked antifreeze into the oil, turning it into peanut butter. The heads cost me $450 to get rebuilt.

I finally got to hear the car run when it was all put together.

...For about five minutes!

Found out the battery and the starter were both pooched. I was not happy!

There goes another $200 dollars.

Once it was all back together again, the engine had run for a while when I noticed that the fan was not engaging.

I pulled out the diagnostics tester and found that it was just the computer. Just! Yeah right, there goes more money out the window.

O.K. Finally the moment of truth. I had my car. It ran. It ran great! I drove around for a little bit to see how she ran. Beautiful. I went to the car-wash to shine her up. Looked sweet. I went to the gas station to fill it up. Paid the $35 bucks (frigging Canada), hopped in my ride, turned the key, nothing.

...The fuel pump went and crapped out on me. Now I had to change the pump. With a full tank!

At last. My car worked. I Drove it around for two weeks.

Wouldn't you know it, piston blew. That big waste of money has been sitting in my garage for two months now. I would like to put in a 3.1L, But I'm having trouble finding a cheap used engine with half decent mileage on it.

General Comments:

That thing. That hunk of scrap metal. That piece of junk... is still my favorite car. I hate to love it. I love to hate it. But I still cherish my Z, and I'll never let her go.

I love my Z24

-Replaced O2 sensor.

-Replaced headliner.

General Comments:

I love this car, So far I have had no problems roasting any class car below a Camaro Z-28.

I plan to up the HP by adding the 3.4l Lumina engine with a GM supercharger, a performance clutch, forged heads, etc.

Just watch out for the stock looking Cavalier.

Faults:

I lost the headliner because of a water leak in the sun roof... no big deal... I fixed the leak with some black marine caulking...it's fine... no problem.

I have a problem with the power windows.. one motor is gone... on the passenger side.. window is in the up position... the driver's side window works, but needs new tracks and rubber..

Replaced one tire... normal wear..

Had trouble with Vaporlock... solved it by changing the Fuel Filter... adding some Octane Booster... using high grade gas..

My Z is incredible... I can't believe it has given me such good service.

I bought it from a neighbor for 900.00...just because it sounded good... ran good in a test drive... and I've been completely satisfied with it.

I wouldn't part with my Z... it has great take off... I leave 'em all sitting at red lights!
