What is a "Z31" ?

well the "Z" is the chassis code, the "3" is the number of cylinders that it normally runs on, the "1" is the number of times it will break down on any given day

should this be a sticky?

ok, I'll tell you all the truth.... I didn't think of that. A friend of mine did but I thought it was pretty funny so I had to share it; especially considering our recent introduction to the Legandry BEAST!

BTW, the BEAST got cut on a little more this last weekend... cut cut cut

ok explain the Z33 then.....

the engine displacement theory kinda goes out the window on that one.
