From about 4K & up the ZHP has more, the ZHP revs faster in the upper band and is definitely toting less weight. The point about the touring that I found disappointing is it begs for a 6th gear on the highway, 80 mph is almost 4K rpm. I found myself fantasizing about a 6MT swap, actually got into pricing it out, and part of the reason I sold it was to stop myself before I did that and got too deep into it.

Word. The 3.46 diff is too much for a 5 speed. I can still get 30 mpg, but a 6th gear would be perfect.

GLWS OP.

Updated pictures and price.

Man... I love my car and all, I really do... but if something like this were local when I bought mine, I would be whippin' a wagon.

Man, that's one HOT wagon.

GLWS!

Pending Sale

Good luck to you Al. The separation anxiety sucks, you get over it, or not, I didn't.

Thanks Bruce. Just took the deposit; heading to BMW of Towson for a PPI on Monday and if everything checks out, and I'm confident it will, she'll be going to her new owner shortly thereafter. I miss it already and it's not even gone...

How are you making out in this weather? I drove my e30 to work today kind of expecting the weatherman to be wrong, boy was he right!

Bought a S10 winter beater/dog riding truck a couple of months ago, no ZHPs on the slick stuff. No worrisome snow so far but my labrador Sugar Bear loves it and rides everywhere in it, we have her dog bed in the back under the Leer cab along with carpeting back there.

Car is sold.
