Pushing it, 240-255 as best I could tell just at a glance. Mine is a 2012 Nismo. Too hot for me.

Pretty big difference with an oil cooler. My temp never reached 220*. I have a 34 row because...twin turbo!

It sure was a fun time out there, I was a little shocked how many people were driving so reckless out there. I didn't even bother counting how many bikes went off the road. But there was at least one 350z and one gtr that went off the road most likely due to excessive speed.

You're welcome to join us. (That involves getting out of bed rather early though)

And putting gas in your car the afternoon before.

I'll have to stay away from 537 for that.

Yeap, I will have one before I return. My car runs 220 just driving home from work at 75mph in the summer. It wasn't that hot last weekend.

The Dragon is to driving what Bourbon street is to night life.

Both are public streets where people go to do things they don't normally do on public streets.

Hotrodz · 05-20-2015, 04:49 PM

That's what I thought, the highest temps I have seen on my car post oil cooler was right at 140*, but it was 125* that day in Phoenix. I was really worried at first but was as high as it went. Obviously, I'm partial to Fast Intentions as none of their parts have failed me in some extreme situations.

Yeah but someone crossing the double yellow in a blind corner into your car is just an asshat that deserves a beating. Lucky that didn't happen this time and their own car was the only casualty, and insurance (me and you) will pay to replace their car. There's a time and a place for using all the pavement and its the track. Unfortunately they don't arrest people for being asshats like they do on Bourbon St.

Crossing the double-yellow is the biggest "party foul" up there.

Had a white 300 overdrive a curve cross the yellow coming out I would have been a goner had I not been braking for the turn ahead of time ! Scared the living **** out of me ! Then that driver wanted to flip me off ! Wtf !

I didn't have any issues at all.

I had that problem one time on 28 last year.
