I agree with the article overall. One of the reasons I just sold my high mileage Z was because of the brake fade and the engine going in to limp mode during spirited weekend drives or during prolonged high speed use. Driving from Vegas to Texas I hit limp mode multiple times and had to slow down and let the car cool down. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to buy another Z but this time I'll put an oil cooler on the car within the first week. The only other problem that I've had with the Z that they didn't cover was the clutch fluid overheating and the pedal sticking to the floor. I even switched over to MOTUL fluid but on a few of my weekend drives I'd have the pedal stick to the floor.
