Probably explains most of the rattles, and why the paint was coming off mine when I got it...

If you drive really really fast in a white one, you hardly ever get a ticket, but as soon as your 6 over in a Red base you get a speeding ticket.

Inflata-wedge locksmith tool has no effect on a Beretta.

You must be a serious pro to use a slim jim to pop a lock on a Beretta. (have you ever seen it done quickly? )

Most people 25 and younger have never heard of a Beretta.

Taillights actually ARE different from year to year, the top flat portion under the deck lid is smooth some years, others has a knockdown type texture.

Not in the GTZ/Z26 package they didn't. EVER. No V6/5spd.

Maybe at first glance,but a LOT of revisions to the Quad over the years. Most not noticeable to the naked eye if you don't know what you're looking for, but lots of changes.

Agreed here.

Everyone says the door handles break easily. Never had one bust yet.

I broke one, but because the door was frozen solid.

Speedys problem with Z26 was the interior, specifically the rear quarter covers lol

In regards to the GTZ vrs Z26, the rear suspension was a difference.

Not in 1994.

Care to elaborate on that?

The rear suspension, springs, shocks, spring perches, how the shocks mounted to the rear axle, etc. changed for 95-96. 87-94 rear suspension components were all interchangeable basically.

I thought the 94+ had a different style perch in which cause for the external rear bar to be extra work for install?

That's 95+

not to start an arguement, but there is more then that to it, the colors, ever look at a 94 z cluster next to a 93 z cluster, they are different... the interiors in the z26 are mostly plastic where as the gtz has cloth on the doors and interior quarter panels, the shades of grey were different, the springs as mentioned, the way the exhuast is mounted, theres probably much more but we can save the arguement for another thread please, i just didnt care for the z26 compared to a gtz, imo, they are a totally different model. sry.

Color to me, doesn't mean crap really

No I have never compared clusters, but I do know there are some differences, I think there is a line around the lower section or something.

I have cloth on my doors? lol Just not as much. Still better quality than the bases got. Those looked like carpet. Again, cosmetics. I was looking at performance, handling, and engine stuff, which is what sets them apart. Not their appearance so much.

lol

No argument. These are some things I didn't know, so its all good. All the Z26 is, was a re-badged GTZ with a cheaper build cost. Simple as that really. Sucks, but then I have always been and still am happy with my Z26. So from my perspective, its all good. LOL

if you look at a 91-93 gt or gtz instrument cluster and look at a 94-96 instrument cluster, you will notice a checkered pattern in the background of a 94-96, 91-93 is just plain.

if im not mistaking, and i might be, a rare few 5 speeds had an external slave on the 3.94 trans rather then internal.
