I'm at about 65k and I've not noticed this problem, but I have noticed that once the oil temp gets around 220 and the air temp is over 90, the car is sluggish from a stop. I'm thinking heat soak is the cause of the problem, which is why I'm considering hood vents in the stock hood or a CF hood with vents, along with an oil cooler. Heat is the enemy in our cars, even those of us that are NA.
