I was able to do about 70seconds worth of wide open throttle going up this canyon road and it shot up to 260 in no time. I had to baby it for the next 20 minutes to get her to cool down. I too did notice it getting sluggish.

It seems that all of our cars have unique quirks or characteristics. My car heats up to 220 fast, but is slow to rise to higher levels. I've certainly never hit 260. Perhaps the 'verts -- being less aerodynamic -- get more air running through them. Also, temps were not hitting 116 -- though they were pretty close this summer ...

Also people mean different things by "spirited driving" I've never kept my revs wound up to 7k for 15 minutes straight ... more like 4-5k spurts on the twisties during my Lime Creek Drive runs
