"A high performance cash eater"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The old 2.8 blew a connecting rod so I changed the engine for a 3.1. Price was 1275$. (On a engine fully rebuilt)

Soon after the starter, alternator and Battery went all bad on me (230$)

Right after that the Transmission when bad on me (650$) rebuilt one.

General comments?

It's great of the line and with my new 215/60/14 it's of the line start are even better.

The interior isn't spacious, but it's comfortable. The only fault here is the seat the racing seat from the RS version should be a standard on a Z24.

Another thing the view in the back isn't that great because of the high stance of the back and fairly low point of view so parking or changing lane is kinda like having to guess a little.

The Z24's are really great cars, and anyone who thinks different is not too bright in the head. My dad bought is 88 Z24 brand new and has had every since. The car is knocking on 200,000 if not already there, because that's the only car he had at the time. He loves it and I do too, I'm looking for one myself. He now has an 84 Corvette and he still loves to drive his Z24 more than any of the cars he owns!! I have a 91 Lincoln Mark VII with it's stock 5.0 HO and a 96 Suzuki Sidekick. Hopefully I will be able to add a 88-90 Cavalier Z24 too my collection soon.
