As with the other exploits we're seeing on the track with the 3.7L.. cooling is an issue, which we and others will definitely help to combat, we have something beefy in the works which should make your playtime a lot more fun.

If there is interest, hit me up, we're happy to work with folks willing to test and take things to the track. I know from what we're working on your described goals seem to fit in nicely with our plans with the 370Z.

Thanks for giving real-world feedback from a track perspective on the new Z.
Yeah I am interested and would be glad to test something out. I'll shoot you a PM.

You know, I was afraid people would get mad because I was being negative, but it seems that people can appreciate objectivity and that is very important.

Yeah haha, very true. I hope I've been able to help out.

I am posting HD videos of 4 of my runs yesterday and you can see the temperature gauge in all of them, you will see it go up. After 10 minutes I'd be around 280 degrees. It sucks, I'm really in need of a cooler.
