[Intro] [Technical Specs] [Performance Specs [Pictures] [Links [Maintenance]
| Intro |
I sold my Z to a friend of mine some time ago, but I decided to keep this page up for a while, since it seems to help people in their search for information. I absolutely loved driving it, but I ran out of money and had to pay off some credit card debt.
One of the most common questions I used to hear is, "How much does your Z cost to own?". I decided to create a Maintenance Page to show the costs associated with my car while I owned it.
In case you're wondering, the background sound is Charles Montgomery Burns from The Simpsons.
| Technical Specs |
The drivetrain is definitely high-tech, and puts out a fairly impressive amount of power for a V6 engine. In addition to the data below, the car also has ABS. NOTE: These numbers came from Motor Trend Magazine.
| Performance Specs |
Since it has a V6, the car lacks some of the low end torque that you get with a V8. Consequently, the 0-60 time is a bit less than you may expect. At the end of the quarter mile, though, the numbers are quite respectable. NOTE: These numbers came from Motor Trend Magazine.
| Top Speed | ~165 mph |
| 0-60 Time | 5.5 sec |
| Quarter Mile | 13.9 sec at 102 mph |
| 60-0 Time | 128 feet |
| Lateral Accelleration | 0.85 g |
| City/Hwy. EPA | 18/24 mpg |
| Pictures |
These scans are not the best quality in the world, but they're all I have right now. My intention is to put the car into a more natural setting and take some new pictures. Click on the picture to get a bigger version.

This is a picture I came across a while ago. It's not my car, but I liked it so much, I decided to put it on my page. This picture took a lot of guts...it's one thing to drive your car at 175 MPH, it's another to look down long enough to take a picture of your dash! From the angle, though, it could have been a passenger that had the camera.
