High Oil Temp = power + throttle response loss?

TARDCORE

Well today I was cruising around, I came upon these 2 cars driving really really slow. When the road allowed I decided to pass them and it never occured to me what they were doing. They were waiting for the long straight of road to race eachother apparently. Well I was the first to pass them as I did not know. It was a newer looking Honda S2000 and Civic Si and they both gunne dit as soon as I passed them. My question is why the hell was I not able to pull away from the S200 at an insane rate? Both cars were bone stock. No loud exhaust, no intake noise, nothing. Even the dam Civic Si was able to keep up on an uphill area adn the S2000 was still right on my ***.
This was what my Oil Temp looked like about 15 mins after of just easy driving so before it was above 260 degrees. Does the amount of power output decrease durastically?


And I drove around for a while after this little incident. I was pissed and wanted to see if the Z could at least cool itself down. Well it couldnt and stayed at this mark with very easy driving.


The thing that really pissed me off was the Civic pulled up next to me and the driver said "I was really expecting a lot more out of a modded 370" and the driver of the S2K gave me a thumbs down. lol embarrassing as hell. I wouldnt doubt that the S2K coulda beat me at a drag race from a dig. My 370z is broken or somethng is wrong with it. I cant powershift it because it doesnt like to be powershifted. I cant drive it hard because it will go into limp mode and apparently its a lot easier to do it than I expected. God I don't know what to with the car.
