Yesterday here it was 107 here in DFW....ughhh I drove the Z to work and midway through my commute it felt much more guttless (oil temp never rose above 200) when I punched it to get on the freeway, later that eve I drove the Max to Nordstrom. After a while it felt guttless to, Vq's just hate heat.


An old article from Oct 09 R/T Observed:

An observation we made over the week was the VQ's sensitivity to temperature. Engines prefer cool weather, but the VQ absolutely detests hot days.
