Havent had my Zed for that long but i think there have been a couple of times i've gone to give it beans and smelt a burning smell come through the vents. Im sure i didnt shift correclty and have done the clutch some damage but it's all part of the learning process. your not going to own a car like that without wanting to rag the t!ts off it every now and again.
the initial pulling power of the zed has never felt as good as the stats suggest to me. i think this is mainly down to the way it drives however, it just never feels as if you're going as fast as you actually are. Having a quick look at the speedo usually gives u a quick reminder tho.
if you're driving down a motorway at 60 in 6th and put your foot down, you dont really get much from it until u hit 80 and then u can really feel the power kick in. I hate this feeling tho as u can tell that car really wants to go for it and as i dont want to get banned u have to back off.
