Stretch Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Welcome Im sure the coupe isnt to everyones taste and might hate me when i say that in a straight line from a rolling 2nd gear start....the coupe leaves the Z quite easy. Not really too surprising as no doubt the Rover is running good power. Anyone who buys a Z purely for straight line speed is a fool I havent had the rover dyno'd since i rebuilt it and upgraded a few things, but yes your right. For a 20 year old car, she shifts. I bought the z purely because its a nice machine and its very comfortable on a long drive. I spend 2 hours a day commuting, so i thought i'd get something i would like to commute in Two hour commute!! You must have set aside a large budget for fuel then Quote
