Not built to last, unreliable as hell. I spent as much time working on mine as I did driving it. All those !@#$% vacuum lines, and mainly, clogged fuel injectors, rotted out cold start valve or oxygen sensor or fuel injector connectors. Overheating distributor electronics, or failed power transistor. Any one thing not running right and you spend a year trying to figure out which part it is. Its speed was an illusion, it only felt fast because your POV is low to the ground.
@cobrachoppergirl no joke i had a 1982 in 2008 and the only nonoriginal parts was the water pump and alternator so you must have gotten a severly abused one or a mechanic that took adavtage of you like crazy
to make the commercial more accurate, the ZX should overtake the plane.
Beautiful cars

This is a 1982 ad. First year of the 5-speed in the turbo Z.
