I've only ever driven an MGF and an MGTF properly.. The MGF was a joke and the MGTF wasnt too bad

I'm very impressed with the ZT, not sure if the FWD versions are as good (they have a totally dfferent chassis) the only fault I would say is the ABS is a bit shit, when it cuts in the rear end skips.

The main problems are with the air conditioning and heating.

The heater valves packup and the a/c compressor seizes up.

Atleast its got a ford engine so you dont need to worry about head gaskets failing after 30k miles.

I fully expect to see some form of 30-100 or similar video in the near future. I've been thinking of ridiculous V8 motors for quite some time, and an E39 M5 topped the list for a long time, now I'm not so sure..
