Default Z Reliability: How's yours?

Hey guys,
I've had my Z since 2012 and I can happily say that it's treated me well with regular maintenance. I've done minimal mods like a plenum spacer and urethane control arm bushings. But since April I've had to hit a slew of things. Radiator replacement, primary timing chain tensioner replacement, 02 sensor failure, crank position sensor and the exhaust rotted out at the end of the mid pipe. Granted it's 13 years old but it feels like a lot for one driving season. Between that and a brake system update it's been up every other week.

So the question is, how is your car holding up these days?

At 213k hard miles, I've started having an overheating i'm having trouble nailing down. But other than that, single owner '06 (man has it been 12 years?) has been pretty issue free.

My Z was a pre-order track model and is now 16 years old. It's had good maintenance and repairs have been the usual: new window motors, CPS and new D4 LED bulds. Just had a SRS code pop up, and it looks like the front airbag sensor is defective. Curious, since I've never had a front end collision, but for all the thousands of trouble-free miles covered there's no doubt the Z33 has been a reliable ride,
