I had one wen I was 19 in 1988.. Thought I stole it. Oneowner 33000 some miles fully loaded minus sunroof.. To this day still one of if not finest car to drive.. Had a good torque at high rpm, so would surprise cars at roll.. Great in curvey roads.. Wasn't Andretti at it, but the stang n Camero boys dint want it.. A V6 leaving a V8.. Imports lil harder.. But seriously was a sound car, minus the genius who thought of the pesky MAP or whoever censor in the air tube thing.. Literally unplugged it. Lost 2.5 or so MPG vrs another $250-275 to keep fixing.. (only year. Go fig). Lil work a contender today still I think.. It peers like Escort Gt, the Probe not even close especially looks and interiors.. Celina gt/ Supra another one surprised by.. Now will say straight line Stang n Camero guys HD the top end straight line 1/4 mi and above 128(dumb cop friend = R gun so) and that was at its screaming lucky it held most.. RECOMEND IF PRICE IS GOOD..

86 Z24 Coupe 4 speed Manual 2.8L V6 MPI. A fun coupe to enjoy. Plenty of power, enjoyed the sunroof, and got tired of the red exterior/interior combo. Another car I wish I still had for the collection as you do not see many of the first gen Z's anymore.

This car lasted the longest of any of my cars. I drove it into the ground -- until a mechanic finally said to bury it! Because it was so small it was extremely easy to drive, and was great on gas.

My family bought this car brand new. It was our family car for 10 years until I had the opportunity to drive it to school and take my friends all over the place. I have many memories of this car growing up and driving it. Chevy you will be missed forever.
