I've had my ZT190 on the road for a week now and have put on about 500km.
Not surprisingly it likes moving at speed more than stop and go traffic. The ZT is running really well but that heavy traffic has shown up play in the lower engine mount so replacement poly bushings are on order. Other than that I don't have many complaints. It goes and stops really well, the EBC rotors and pads do a good job. The exhaust is a bit loud but I am thinking there may be some issues caused by the engine movement from the bad mount. When I have the undertray off to do the bushings I will take a good look at the exhaust. I had the ZT at Vancouver Coffee and cars today and it got a good reception as few people here have ever seen one. There was a good mix of cars, everything from an old Fiat 500 to a McLaren Senna. Depressingly there was another McLaren there with a "New Driver" placard on the back and a stuffed bunny on the dash-sigh.

Drove it to East Kirkby, was MOT'd yesterday, washed and polished and I must say it was a very enjoyable drive.

Used the tourer for its intended purpose. Picked up a spare headlight, two rear lights, two front indicators, two glass roof panels and a complete passenger door with all fittings and glass for the R8 coupe. I will go back next week for the drivers door as it wouldn’t fit

I took the ZT out for a spin, I had a very cool passenger who directed me to the pet shop.

She is certainly a lively and clever character. I was baby sitting her today, and that is pretty much what it feels like, its like having another young child again.
Yes I agree John, the "Monaco" leather seats are by far the best, the colour inserts really suit the ZT's. Exceptional quality as you say, I adore the stitching detail, really gives the ZT interior a touch of class. |
