Project R Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hi all, After recently having a dream in which the Zed gods visited me and told me to become a zed owner I have only viewed one so far, and that is the only zed I have been in for experience, I like the car but I have alot of plans for it. I guess before all that I would like to ask all the experts and professionals in these cars, what is the best model to go for, manual or auto?....2+2 or swb.....and which year I know the early autos had problems with gearbox cooling etc.....so would a 92' model be okay or even later to around 94 or 96? But either way it will have to be a Twin Turbo! Your advice will be much appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranceManDann Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 SWB, Manual, and after 92 (i think) are prob the best, the car will be a series 2 that way and have lots of little upgrades that the series 1 cars didnt have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 can of worms really. I'd prefer a 2+2 myself! Got to be a manual for me like Quote Membership No 0780 INSURANCE GOOFA Datascan, Conzult, ECUTalk and a few others I have all the rare bits you can't find :tongue::tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowhand Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Auto TT* if you live in a big city . Manual TT if you regularly appear on Top Gear , or have the use of their track . :) *The TT is for when you ever get OUT of the fooking city :rofl: Edited October 9, 2008 by Slowhand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowser Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Depends on your own needs really. 2+2 vs 2+0 - Both are great, the LWB is more praticle, but the SWB is the sportier driver......so 2+2 if you intend to carry children or dwarfs in it, otherwise SWB. LWB is a lot easier to come by and wont cost as much. Targa if its just a Toy/daily driver for the road, Slicktop if your after a Track toy. Manual if you have the use of both legs. Its noticably quicker, a lot more reliable and a lot more fun. Ofcourse there is also the Convertible option, although they are NA only, but make great cruisers. Vast majority of cars are 90-92. Late 92 (series 2) onwards is slightly preferable becuase of the improved climate control, relocated seatbelts, nicer interior trim, ..etc, Edited October 9, 2008 by Yowser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
