you should be ok unless you really push the car which i dont recomend on canyons anyways
i usually run about 200-220 max 240 and thats holding a gear too long or straights

FWIW, I'm in those canyons damn near every weekend and if you're talking about actually arriving in the canyons at 10AM, that's fine. Meeting at 10AM, however, will be too late. Even on my motorcycle I try to head out into the canyons no later than 10am (keep in mind, I can split lanes on the bike).

The problem is more with the traffic on the way out, not so much with traffic heading to or even up in the canyons, although there will be some. It can/has take(n) nearly 2 hours to get from Malibu Canyon Rd to the 10 along PCH on the way home not too long after lunchtime. And that's only a 15 mile drive!!! So I'm loving this thought of meeting at 9am, giving us plenty of time to get in and out and even eat lunch without catching PCH gridlock hell. (Assuming this 9am meet location is no more than 30 min or so from where the canyons begin).

Last weekend I was running as high as 260 - it was unusually hot out there on the valley side of the mtn. But even that didn't seem to bother the Z at all. But as Asiatik says, I wasn't pushing it too hard. Too many cops except on certain roads that most people seem to not know about... heh heh.

D'OH! I just realized my folks are coming to town on the 18th. I'll have to check to see what time they are thinking of getting here to make sure I can hit the canyons then get back to town to meet up with them.

Well, keeping up with you guys will probably be pushing it for me haha. That is good to know that your temps aren't too bad, I haven't really seen mine go past 230 with some hard driving but the ambient temperature wasn't too warm then either.

Higher ambient temps are what worry me, I hit 240 today sitting in traffic so I switched on the A/C and it shot down to 210 lol. Pretty neat.

Random questions: how do you like the Stillen crank pulley? Do you have the underdrive version?
