Can the car be daily driven?
- No. IMO the car was wasn’t made to be driven every day. If you do, you’re a superman.

I heard it doesn't have A/C?
- It comes with no A/C. There are only two options for the Z. A/C and a crappy radio.

What kind of gas mileage?
9 mpg if I drive it. 9 mpg if my grandmother drives it.

What is the up keep cost, like brakes and oil?
Oil: Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic motor oil 10q. Walmart $50
Oil Filter: AC Delco UPF-48R. Walmart $15
Manual Transmission: 4.5 qt. Redline D4. $70
Rear Axle: 1 qt. Redline 75w-90 $19
Hydraulic Brake System: DOT 3 AS 400 full synthetic. 3-12oz. Walmart $45
This is what I change out every year DIY at home.

Other stuff on needed base:
Air filter: AC Delco A3194C. Walmart $75
Cabin filter: AC Delco CF-178. Walmart $25

Brakes pads good luck finding them
Rotors good luck finding them
I don’t drive too hard so it should last me a while.

Tires, tires, tires.
About $2000 plus depends what you get.

Common problems?
-The CCBs squeal under light breaking and town driving.
-Seat belt holder strap stitching issues.
-Suede steering wheels and shifter knobs become smooth.
-Wheel arch bodywork can come detached over time.
-The side quarters get beat by rocks because the front wheels are very wide.
-The front splitter easily finds curbs and parking blocks.
-Trunk open button from the driver side sticks.
-I don’t put any chemicals on my dash but it feels really sticky.
