My brother owned the car before I did. He would push the gas pedal to the floor at every light, burning any other vehicle sitting beside of us. After about two years, the engine finally gave up. He threw a piston rod through the block. It sat in the parking spot at our house until I got my license. My father and I dropped a gently used 2.8L engine into the car. It was alive again and it was mine.

Haven't had any trouble with the new engine.

The car will seriously get up and move. My father and I went to a nearby track and drag-raced it against some other cars. We made fifth place out of twenty-five. He was so proud of me and I was proud of the car.

Put a 1500 watt max stereo into the car, including: a amp, two subs, and a new head unit.

Named the car "Kirby" after a good friend of mine that pasted away.

I fell in love with the car as soon as I saw it. But my brother was the one to buy it, so I should thank him for the awesome car.

Light car, powerful engine: good combination.

Great handling, speed, acceleration, and comfort.

Love to drive my car all day!

5th out of 25th uh!!! Must of been racing chevy chevettes and some toyota corollas. Not much to brag about.

I know how you feel. my bro had a 87 z24.wen he got it he rebuilt the engine from the ground up. then he wrecked it a few times. he got another car an let it sit for at least 2 years didn't even touch it. he was looking to sell it an i was looking to buy. I went to look at it an he turned the starter an it cranked up the first time. The engine runs an sounds great (when everything else works anyway).I love the way it sounds. the car is too beat up to drive so I'm looking for a car to put the engine in. But just hearing that z24 engine makes me fall in love with it all over again.
