Yep, didn't want to waste time with rapid gear swaps. In the heat of things, it felt more like a power cut but it may just be a power plateau. Given that the Z pulls the best above 5k rpm, hitting the limiter is probably more dramatic than in a car that poops out at higer rpm. All things considered, the Z doesn't enjoy being near the redline anyway. Yeah, she's powerful there, but she heats up like no tomorrow. One 30s autoX run and she was at 240F despite my 24row oil cooler. Fortunately, she cools down just as fast.
