sweet, speeding, modifi-able sports roadster

Funnest Car I've Ever Driven
Source: MSN Autos

...Cons: The shocks need to be replaced at around 70k miles. These cars have issues with the sub-frame cracking and the welds. You can really push the car through tight curves, but it feels a bit nervous and twitchy. Overall: I bought this car at 11 years old and with 83k miles on it and it runs like a top. Even in L.A. people turn their heads to check out the car when I drive by. At it's "advanced" age it is still a serious sports car that will throw you back in your seat and freak your friends out when you rip it through the turns. The cars were made from 1998 through 2002 and less than 11k...

...Just drive it and you will understand the true nature of 300 hp+ in a 2200lb car. But please, tell BMW how to install a good sound system and leave the Yugo sound out...

The Magic Carpet Lives

..."Five years ago I sold my Honda VF 1100 Sabre motor cycle and bought this '97 2.8 liter Z and have never looked back.
This is "car art." People in parking lots come over to me and tell me, "Great car
!" It drives as good as it looks. I updated the sound system with a new Sony CD/AM-FM unit.
You can slam this car around corners without restraint, however I spend much of my driving time just cruising.
This roadster does not ride very well in snow, which doesn't matter to me because I store it winters. 110,000 miles and runs like it's new."...

Fun!!!

..."You will not win an Indy race with this car but would sure look good trying! Fun to drive on a wrm sunny day. Great value for a ragtop roadster."...

I Enjoy It As A Weekend Car
Source: CarGurus

...The ladies DO love this model! Handles just like a roadster should and seems pretty durable, with good mileage.
Quirky at times; buy a code scanner. Noisy with roof down; buy a windscreen. Roof replacement = $800.+ Good quality, fun to drive...
