Swapping a Zr for a Zs180
 
Iv just found out im going to be a Dad :bounce:

BUT

My zr isnt very practical, Well it wont be..

Just wondered what you guys thought about swapping your zs`s for a zr..

Would you?

Or would it just be easier to sell mine:

Its a T16 But in no way thrown in like most
Was fully rebuilt before fitted and running a nice healthy 201 @ Wheels - 14psi

Few pics:

Its not got the cage no more and is like the last photo with the seats now fitted.

Please dont bombard my pm with offers as this is not a for sale or swap thread..

Just need your opinions for now..

If there is interest i will pay the selling fees and list the car for sale or swaps

Get a ZS in KV6 or T16 Turbo form ;) A ZS has better handling than the ZR as well as more space ;)
Would I swap my ZS for a ZR? "No" the ZS is a better all round package imho.

Im in the same situation mate and I've just brought a 180! And yeah it feels better than a zr & loads more room

Welcome to the site ....

You wouldn't be the first to grow up and move from a ZR to a ZS .... ;)

Plenty of engine options all with a degree of tuning potential, the derv in my view giving the best improvement per pound over standard if you're into modifying. The 180 has by far the best soundtrack and very good performance in standard fom but costly to eek out more than 200bhp.

As for practicality, don't feel tied to a hatch. It's a very good and practical car, but the saloon has a very different look, and a mahoooosive boot.

As for someone swapping into yours, your ZR looks awesome, whether it'd tempt someone from their ZS - not sure.

I never liked the Zr's anyway, so Im sticking with the ZS...... Now he is all fixed again, went for a spin round the lanes and boy WHAT FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going to treat him to a wash, then polish then beddybyes in the garage........

Hmmmm...tempted by a swap...:laugh:

Personally I much prefer my ZS180 saloon to my wifes 5 door ZR160 (and my T16 maestro fits somewhere inbetween) - and the boot is massive - I wouldn't swap.

Eye catching car BTW.
