Performance and customization

According to Elitas Travel:

Engine: four-cylinder, fixed pitch. Wing area: 66 square feet. Cockpit size: matchbox. Cabin temperature: hotter than Satan's taint. Chances of survival if you hit anything more than a light crosswind: none whatsoever. Top Speed: routinely fatal. Customer satisfaction: are you still there? Did you read the part about the top speed? Please note: This aircraft is excluded from Pegasus Lifestyle Management and must be stored in a personal hangar

The Z1 in GTA Online is based on the Reberry 3M1C1R in real-life. This is most evident due to the wide nose and position of the undercarriage. This is the fastest piston-powered plane in the game.

It may sometimes give the Hydra and Lazer a run for their money. Handling this plane is extremely sensitive, and untrained hands often fail to tame this winged beast. It can take off from surprisingly short distances, but landing it is challenging even on flat surfaces.

Being a plane, this has little to no customization apart from performance upgrades. The vehicle can be resprayed and equipped with either chaff or flares. There are quite a few Liveries, and gamers can make this thing look pretty.
