overheating?? true??

ct1222 · 09-01-2009, 10:51 PM

i live in SoCal, and is planning on getting a new car
the new z was and probably still is my first choice
but aftering reading numerous complains about the overheating problems
it kind og make me to stop and think twice

i've never been in track before, and probably never will
i'm not a very aggressive driver, nor am i the so-called "asian driver"
i usually cruise at around 50-70mph local and 70-100(rarely) highway
(if there's not much car or cop, of course)
have mild road rage, (hate to drive below 50mph)
and like i said, i live in SoCal, Irvine, to be precise
so here's the question, under these conditions,
will i encounter the overheat problem??

Yep. ^

No! Tracking/racing causes the heat issue. Normal driving there is no problem.

I agree with everyone in this thread. You DO NOT need an oil cooler if you drive in the street.
