Man i am sick of this stupid POS!!

it seems every other day somthing else breaks. this is pissing me off majorly, i so sick of it! it is sittign out in the rain right now because it cant fu*kn' make it to the damn garage! last night it was running kind of crappy, but MAN! now its cached or somthing. it is a bitch to start and when it does start it just chugs and chugs and chugs and has zero throttle response and makes some strange noises in the engine. argh!

Buy the 2002 Z
You'll be buying an instant collectors item.
Put your up for sale, after you solve the problems.
ALOT of the problems, can be from bad vacuum hoses. BUT you gotta find them, first!
And, as tiring as it gets, you'll learn something.
From one that knows, too well!
Keep at it!
