Indeed. Regardless of oil temps I always had the lag/no power below ~4k issue.
Power in general was greatly reduced with oil temps running in excess of 220*F. On a hot summer day driving the Z almost felt like driving a Civic... it was just dog slow.
I believe they are two seperate issues. One related to ECU/VVEL controls and the other a byproduct of excessive heatsoak.
In comparison, my Mustang barely breaks a sweat when it's 105*F out and I have the A/C blasting. The two cars are like polar opposites when it comes to temperature sensitivity.
