Tardcore, I know exactly what you are talking about. It feels like everything is there, but the car just doesnt go anywhere. It doesn't just happen at 260 or 280, it starts to happen almost as soon as your cross 200. I'm pretty sure there is a VVEL map where it begins to pull back power as the temp goes up. Its extremely annoying. Car doesn't rev as fast, doesnt have the same amount of power and just falls flat on its face.

I find the best operating temperature is 180 on the dot. Anything higher than that and the car starts to lose a little umph. Oil coolers are a really important mod for this car
I agree completely. We all do it. We didn't buy 332 hps to never enjoy it on roads other than the track. As long as he used his discretion to make sure it wasn't life threatening to anyone, I don't think we should get on his case. We're not on an interwebz board to regulate laws and ethics. That would fail miserably.

As far as the vids go, to me, it looks like your car reacts much worse to high revs than mine. Mine eventually shoots up but nowhere near as fast as yours does in the vid. I really have to get on it for a while to get the temps up. I've yet to hit 260 and even after some canyon runs I was hovering at ~255.
