Sluggish acceleration

^I highly doubt it will be the MAP sensor( or MAF sensor in the 370's case)....This is a problem that's plagued most VQ engines for a while. You'll feel this

^I highly doubt it will be the MAP sensor( or MAF sensor in the 370's case)....This is a problem that's plagued most VQ engines for a while. You'll feel this problem in many cars on hot days but in my experience it's even worse in the VQ lineup for some reason. Why the hell does this VQ run so damn hot as it is?? C'mon Nissan!

I feel it in my TL-S on really hot days also. I could probably run more laps in my Acura than in the Z though. Kinda sad, IMO, for a sports car to go into limp mode on a track after a few laps....

I used to punish my 350 so bad it used to fill the cabin with heat that no amount of AC could cool it down. I can't imagine what a higher output engine would feel like.
