I had a 98 Convertible, and now a 2004 Coupe, both with stock "soft" settings. They are more compliant in the real world on highway expansion cracks, and over bumps and potholes. You probably do give away a bit on very high speed sweepers, or diving deep into turns. But I haven't noticed any limitation at any speed I feel comfortable pushing a car. > > |

There is A removable hard top Made , we just put one on a 2003 , it was
made by Smooth Line 1-877-368-4533 web site www.smoothline.com excellent quality If you are in FL you could come and look at it or ask the company if someone is local where you are , that's what we did before we purchased the top.

Doubt you'll be disappointed, but the Z51 is a great handler - very sure,
even in very sharp handling. Venger "M" > wrote in message ... > I Found a 2000 coupe 6-spd 3:42 gears > but its not a Z51 > I do like handling ability more the straight line > will I be dissappointed? > > > |
