Other sports cars see the dealer too. 
The Z has given me nothing but joy. I bought an oil cooler (not installed yet) but RP is doing a great job @ staying cool thus far. I don't get worried when my car sees 240. When I first bought the. Car my Z would jump to 260 degrees in 15 minutes on normal roads. Came to find out Z's run hot during break in. Doing the correct oil changes from 0-5000 with premium oil really slows that process down as the engine lubricates. 6300miles and in 8 months of owning the Z. I haven't seen high temps in 6 months. We just started going into the 90's. I'm still staying around 230 or lower.
Brake cooling will be addressed. Better pads, lines and rotors have been done. I'm considering selling my stop tech rotors for ebc dimple-drilled and slotted??? My S tune pads work like magic. Repeat stops feel sure and fade free. I won't track this car till every preventative mod is completely done and I have it dropped, spaced and swayed.
Love your Z and it will love you back. Fuel starvation. I have no comment because I never been through it even though I drive like I stole from the president sometimes. But I feel for that situation. That is one flaw that is hard to address as just an owner. But if you love your Z? USE THE FORUM FOR WHAT ITS HERE FOR. Don't just complain here. Gather guys with the same issue's info. Write a petition for inspection and TSB. Add the names and gather forum support. Rants and cries get these issues nowhere. |
definitely gotta agree with you on all points, i think what the OP is hinting to is instead of moaning and groaning about it all the freakin time on these boards as has been done many times by certain people why not actually be proactive like UNKNOWN says and get together a petition from everyone that has the same issue. i'm with OP as far as that goes, heck i would definitely sign a petition if anyone ever got one together but going on and on with the complaints will only eventually do one thing: annoy the heck out of people, and with that being said most people who would rather not hear it on a constant basis WILL start ignoring you which is counter active to your cause.
