The only need is for those that track their cars, but I guess is good to have one from the factory since I'm tired of reading the magazines articles on how the Z overheats. Of course they are tracking the car in the magazines competition with other cars.

What does "knowing how to drive" change?

I think it means Mustang drivers don't know how to drive...

I'm kidding!

Seriously, it confused me too.

Change?

I'm refering to those that go up the Dragon in low gears and don't know how to shift a manual transmission car....since Tony haven't gone up on his 7AT Z.

I know how to drive the car. It would be more fun to stay in lower gear and scream around every corner. It's less fun to pull up halfway through and not be able to play.

But whatever, clearly I don't know what I'm saying.

Ahhhhh yes

I don't expect an oil cooler to be comp'd, but it would be cool if they would allow dealers to install new OEM coolers that would be covered under warranty.

Have to look at the whole package, really. I mean, first it has to be compatible with older models. That means they'd have to cram it in there in some way that they could do so on older models. That may not be the case. Second, the Nissan cooler might be more expensive than an aftermarket one. Third, if the stock cooler is cheaper or at equivalent cost, it may still be worse than aftermarket solutions.

So, I'm glad there's finally a Nissan OEM cooler, but we'll have to see how it compares with existing options.

That should be the case and honor warranty on those who have had a dealer install one and cover it as well. Wait Im talking about a corporation out for profit being fair again. I need a drink

I would hit my dealership for one for sure.

At 97-99 degrees, I hit 260 with my oil cooler at the track.

Without one it was easy off track to hit 260 in 70 degree weather.

Too late, I do not understand your fat reference, but you've already been stereotyped as Asian, and that is not fat.

Unless it was absoultely out-fvcking-rageously expensive, if I wanted one, I'd probalby lump the premium cost to have it installed at the dealership if it would be convered under the powertrain warranty.

That said, I bet they won't do that.
