Yeah, first can be a little... unrefined.

Got my car back, took the long way home for an extended test. At first, it felt awesome. But, toward the end of the trip, oil sub 220, the same problems hit.
Busy this weekend, going to test drive a mustang next week. Easy way to fix it =)

Problem fixed =(

Just bought a Z. I don't mind kinks here and there, as long as they are fixable, but if not I have little patience for this sort of thing. Mine hasn't really dogged yet, but I have noticed a jerky acceleration from a stop. Bummer is nothing this side $75k excites me in vehicles besides the Z (not for performance, Mustang GT can match that, more that excited "I want to drive this thing fast" sort of feel).

No, the guy's a little bit of a flake I think. I called him again in April, but no answer. I've been really busy, I just switched jobs. Need to call him again after I get my car back (assuming the new cat doesn't fix it =\ )

You would be correct.

This issue seems to be heat soak related. If I am on the race track or on the freeway I have no lag issues at all. In traffic when hitting a lot of red lights and no air is moving through the engine bay is when I get the lag so bad that Neons and Escorts are beating me through intersections. When the engine is cool or or has fresh moving air it seems to not happen though.

ZForce · 05-06-2011, 10:58 PM

Yep same here. Be nice if we had a fan or something.......to bring in fresh cool air.

DIGItonium · 05-06-2011, 11:41 PM

It can't be just oil... something else is getting hot and this car just doesn't like it compared to all the other cars I've driven.

L8N8 · 05-07-2011, 07:44 AM

it's definitely more than just better air circulation in the engine bay. I've had a replacement hood on the car since november with vents above each intake and the problem still persists. I wasn't thinking the hood was gonna be the fix, just did it for looks.

I'm willing to install intakes and an oil cooler before waving the white flag. And even then, i might trade for a Nismo.

An oil cooler def helped my car feel 'better' and its nice seeing 190 deg temps max, but I still got this lag with it.
