Im hopefully buying another zed after the theft of my last one, it'll be my third (unfortunatley it'll be my missis driving as i have lost my licience). Any way all my zeds have been 89/90 models and was wondering which year was classed as the quickest?? I know they removed the vvt in the later years. and the add on's made them heavier. Does this mean a good early model in standard form is quicker than a standard late model.

Earlier ones are quicker, later ones were down on torque.

I read somewhere the 92ones are slightly quicker.

Years made no difference, except 1995(?) onwards when they dropped VVT and went to 32bit ECU. They altered the Cams to retain peak power, but loss some torque.

 

Steve300zx has some impressive figures for his 1996 TT however.

 

Model Type is where the real differences are - SWB vs LWB , Manual vs auto ....etc

I heard the ones From Jan to Nov were.

:dance: Does that mean mine is quicker than others :tongue:

yer i had the 2 seater sold it to A55EEM back in 2005 there was a definate difference in performance as standard, then had it tuned and chipped and F*ck it was awsum much quicker than my last 2+2.

Should have kept it!!! sold it for £3000 tut tut

Mine did have a 32bit ECU originally but I changed it to a 16bit to allow me to chip it.

Mine is something like 395ft/lb of torque (modified though, obviously) :)

The one that mac1 made was quite fast if I remember correctly lol
