I said 30 were either above 280 -OR- limp mode. And I can assure you most anyone that has gotten over 280 is going to be concerned and rightly so. You got me on the typo of 260 vs 280 but BFD.... 260F is hot.
And yes the survey does ask what conditions they drive in. Last time I checked we had 4 people hit limp mode with road only driving and 14 hit over 260F. That was out of 73 responding at the time.

What now? you've got the data... still going to make excuses ? your next logical reply is to discredit the data... go for it

IN WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS HAVE YOU DRIVEN YOUR Z? (check all that apply)
Frequency Analysis
Answer Count Percent
20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
1. All out (90+%) at the track 8 4.02%
2. Casual at the track 14 7.04%
3. All out on the road and/or driving over very steep grades 23 11.56%
4. Sporty driving on the road and/or driving over some steep grades 74 37.19%
5. Normal driving on the road 80 40.20%
Total 199 100%
