Someone one here, or Xpower, cant remember who, but put up the figures for the ZS (try searching), and it was surprisingly good, I think it had better power to weight ratio and BHP at wheels than a scooby (due to drive drain lose etc)
So, whilst the the BHP seems low compared to other cars, you have to put them side by side, and the ZS, would hold more than its own against bigger BHP cars.
I know with and exhaust and lightened fly wheel, the car feels very fast, in fact its alot quicker than my TF, that is pushing out the same horse power. The ZS just puts the power down faster, smoother and keeps it going way past what the TF can do.

the zs with a few mods and lightening will do very well, mods id recommend is lightweight wheels, LSD, decatt, lightweight fly, itg etc not expensive but will transform your car. Did a track day at the weekend and wasnt overtaken, considering i had a 400bhp tvr sagaris behind me at the start a few times and it didnt catch up (more about the driver not being confident than car tho) there was also caterhams v8 triumphs etc there all more than capable than my zs on paper and yet nothing kept near me. its all about putting the power down, zs does this very well. Start with those mods, and you'll find a massive difference with those.
