My Z is trouble free. Zero oil consumption, never saw an oil temp over 225-230 even flogging it on a hot FL day.
And it's an incredibly fun car.
The one issue I had with my Z -- the imperfectly reading fuel gauge (read one tick below full even when topped off) -- seems to have cleared itself up after switching to Sunoco. In any case, that was a pretty minor problem.
Seriously, this is a great car and well worth the money -- go for it
EDIT: There's brake issues?
