It gets hot enough for my right foot to get very warm and spreads across to my other foot as well.

On long drives, it can get uncomfortable.

Any one else experience this......looking for cause and hopefully fix.

Thanks.

its not the vent, its just how hot the engine/header gets. see here:

Thanks for the link. After reading it, this is obviously a Z thing.

Do you know what Panzir is referring to in Post #26. "I ordered ZSPEEDS aluminum version with the oil change door-great product! As an added bonus the high temp in the car is all but gone. No brainer accessory in my book."

I guess I can ask him directly. Just wanted to know if you were aware of this accessory.

(my emphasis)
Probably talking about the lower engine cover/aerodynamic plate.

This is something that seems to happen with all RWD cars I have ever been in. The whole center drive line gets warm, the metal is just conducting the heat from the engine down the drive line. Its not thing abnormal and is to be expected.
