Welcome to the forum! Not a ZHP but nice car. Like the hard top.

[chrisdel8383]

How can you tell that its not a ZHP? I was convinced that it was. I have the specs here in front of me

Yup. It has a ZHP/M-Tech II front bumper, but everything else is pre-facelift i.e. 2003 or older.

Really interesting. I am under the impression of some slight differences with the American ZHP vs the Canadian version which I have been told is called a "ZAP"

They didn’t make a ZHP prefacelift. First model ZHP was 2003 and was only available in sedan and 6MT. Starting in 2004 ZHP coupes began production and was available in either 6MT or auto.

[chrisdel8383]

I feel like the waters are getting a little muddier. While I'm not holding on to the "ZHP" dream so much I wonder if I have the Canadian version of this car.. ive seen the "ZAM" or "ZAP" spellings when looking for my specs on this site..... Just want to now what I have

So what are you saying ?

So what are you saying ?

He’s saying your car is a pre-facelift (headlights curl down), but the ZHP was only offered on facelift cars (headlights curl upwards).

And it’s “ZAM” for the Canadian version. The only difference, from what I remember, is that Canadian clusters are km/h only, and don’t show the correct 6800rpm redline. But again, that’s irrelevant in this case because your car is a pre-facelift, and thus neither a ZHP nor a ZAM.

With that said, I think the pre-facelift looks pretty killer with the Mtech II bumpers too, which means your car looks pretty great.

yep, spenser is right on, above.

where in canada are you?
