Z-Max?
 
Last night I saw another hour-long infomercial on Z-max. At first I thought it was just another Slick50 that had no real benefit, however, in the middle of the infomercial, Carrol Shelby got on the screen and began talking about how he adds Z-max to all his cars at home, and all those cars that roll off the production line (The Aurora-based Series 1). This made me stop and think- Shelby is a name I know and respect. So what do you guys think about this one? Is Z-max a miracle additive, or just a bunch of marketing hype?

I bought some of this stuff, and really can't tell the difference. Fuel milage did not change, but I ride the hell out of the bike anyway. I put this in my motorcycle, maybe it will help excessive wear on the internals in the long run.

I saw the same commercial and was kinda wondering the same thing myself. Man, I didn't realize Carrol Shelby was getting so old! 77 years old and still building cars. Man, I hope I can still do it when I am that old.

I, too, was lost in that "wealth of propeganda" - and after running z-max for three months straight, no difference. maybe helped the internals, but did nothing for mpg. I only wish I would have saved the guarantee stuff for my money back!

I was fooled by all the Zmax crap but if you are thinking about buying it I would check out this link first.
