That depends on your definition of 'funny' After all this, will anyone else dare try their 370Z at the track?

Sure, after it's broken in, the oil is switched out for a quality ester-based synthetic, and a good oil cooler is installed. Why not?

Just my 2 cents-But with this engine having heating problems, I think it would be foolish not to install an oil cooler! Track or not!

The rule of thumb is that if your stuck in crawling traffic...you shut off the A/C & radio & roll down the windows!
Turning on the A/C!!!! unreal!
