Plus doesn't a Sunfire GT have the 2.4 DOHC vs your 1.6 SOHC? Not a very equal comparison.

I've driven both cars, and the gt's are not that impressive, nor are they that reliable (chain driven pile of garbage). Ask Revvin on here about them, he had a 2.4 cavy, probably one of the nicest i've seen until he hurled it into a ditch and rolled it...

actually, Evan why don't you tell us about that cavy... i always enjoy car stories lol.

but as far as the z6 goes, start with a compression test, then move to little things that can rob performance.. simple things like air filters, run a tank of supreme gas with some injector cleaner or octane boost, change oil if it hasn't been done in a while... etc etc.

here is a sweet video all about oils, you'll be surprised... i know i was
