i don't think the Z's rad can dissipate much more than 80kJ, you're going to be pushing more than that when the oil is up at 280 and the coolant is heated accordingly.

hopefully the cooling system will prevent it from getting to that point...it's entirely possible that won't be a problem unless you are absolutely railing the car. I do know that if you get there, you are in trouble though.

Time will tell. If it works decent, I am torn on waiting for the new platform or getting the 370. I have looked at all the other cars in the price-point I want to be at, and the 370Z is the one I want in that price range. I doubt the C7 will be selling for shy of $50K for a long time.
