The only thing that will hold up progress here is waiting for a 75F or hotter day in Chicago so I can do the test drive. IMO, the worst thing that could happen to us is that I get him in the car with his onboard diagnostics setup and I don't get the Z to overheat. So, he knows that I'll call him when the weather warms up a bit more and then he's onboard for the test drive. Just please be a bit patient so we can ensure a good showing of my car turning into a blazing inferno. If the temp is 80F or better, I can certainly make the gauge hit 260 on the streets.

When I spoke to him on the phone, I brought up the extensive overheat issues noted on this forum. He really wasn't interested in the details and wants tangible hard evidence...he asked that we focus on my car and redemonstrating the issue while he has his computer hooked up.

However, I absolutely DO think it's worth while to print some of the threads and articles that demonstrate an oil cooler solves the problem. Also, please continue to post any ideas or suggestions you have as it seems I've become the ambassador of our oil problems. More news to follow as soon as I have it...


If you'd like to email me your name, email, telephone...I can bring him a list so he can contact you if he needs more info or proof.
