Z Max

Hey

I was watching some TV this morning and they had a infomercial about Z MAX. I want to know if anyone has tried thats stuff and what it actually does. Its an informercial so I dont know if it is trust worthy for the camaro. So if anyone has used it before or heard about it tell me if its good or not.

Thanks

Don't buy anything from an infomercial. In fact, turn the infomercial off so they don't get any ratings. Maybe then they will stop selling bull**** products that do nothing.

I was reading this government page and it said that ZMAX does nothing for your car. It actually makes it worse. The product doesnt work. As for the Tornado...man you need to stop watching those things and go to bed HAHA

Most of that oil adder has lots of Chlorine in it. It works really well until the Chlorine eats up everything. The only thing that really works is linkite. That's from an IRL engine builder.

hahaha! that tornado is such a load of bs... Even engines with that vortex induced turbulence in the combustion chambers prinicpal built in (aka L03,L05) suck. I know someone who swears by all that infomercial crap and his car sucks.

Well the informercial isnt toataly false. You do get improved milage since you add a quart of Zmax injector cleaner to your fuel. Thats why no one can get that $100 savings bond.

Well Mr. No one gets the $100 dollar savings bond...if you want to pay the 2 easy payments of 29.99...oh wait whats that??? Now its just one easy payment of $19.99 Sorry no COD's well if they are all that then why isnt everyone running around with it. Although I have not heard anything bad about Prolong but if you want to spend the money then go ahead.
