argniest Posted July 18, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 18, 2011 Yeah, a problem keeping it under 80 in 3rd gear, with two more gears to go. Sorry I couldnt help that. Seriously tho, when was the last time the Z did over 80? What has changed if anything, since then.

five&dime Posted July 18, 2011 Share #8 Posted July 18, 2011 Perhaps the PO installed a governor so you won't make it to 88 and therefore sent back to 1955????
