I dunno......I really don't see anything wrong the 84-89 ZX's. I've had my '87 Turbo for quite awhile now, and have never had a single problem with it, performance, handling, etc. Mine, along with every other 80's ZX i've driven have always handled, and cornered beautifully....even more so now that i've upgraded my suspension. The 90-96 models on the other hand are sh*t as far as i'm concerned. That's where the handling difficulties come in. The early Z's/ZX's are the only way to go as far as i'm concerned, but thats just opinion.

yup. Have you seen the video of it? It burns out through damn near every gear going down a public road. They had to get a couple of grown men to sit on the back of the car when it was being dynoed because of traction problems. Thats when you know your a badass.

Yea, I have met Darius in real life, he has a R1 as well. Let me now take the time to point out he is one of the craziest bastards I have ever met. About 4 months ago he crashed on the highway doing stunts with full gear and got really banged up. But he is back up and riding I think already. Did you ever watch some of his stunt (and crash) videos on his R1?

Not to be a smartass but Pontiac doesn't make their own engines, what you saw was a Chevy motor, most likely a 396. Thats all I guess I have to say on this post lol I can't think of anything to say right now.

Just to be a smartass, it was a Pontiac 400 smallblock

The chevy 400 smallblock differs from the pontiac 400 in compression, timing and valvetrain components(not sure which)... both are mouse motors, but the pontiac version is better for perfomance.

What about the buick/olds/pontiac 455? It's a different engine from the 454...

Actually the pontiac made their own engines up until... 81, I belive. the pontiac 400 was made from 67 till 70 somthing. the pontiac had nothing in common with chevy buick olds and pontiac shared a few things but chevy was the odd man out untill recently. just to clear up any confusion. oh yea pontiac didn't really have a big block or a small block most of them from the 326 to the 455 were the same size. some people confuse the big and small journal pontiac ( crank journal) for big and small block when dimentionally they are pretty much the same thing.
