Also driving in city means MPG will be around 15 -18?

Thanks,
I don't use my Z as a DD.

That said, I've spend time in DC almost every year and for quite a few years now it's been in a Z (either a 350 or a 370).

My concern with a Z in your area of the country would be weather; specifically snow/ice...no RWD sports car is going going to be good in such conditions. However, I also lived through two winters in Chicago with a 1973 Formula 400 Firebird so it CAN be done (but it's not a lot of fun).

If you really love/want the car I say go for it.

Perhaps before the the next winter season kicks in you can buy an old beater for such conditions or come up with some other options if the weather is just too nasty/to unsafe for a Z.
