Heat Venting

Does anyone know how this car vents heat? There are no visible vents including any near the wiper blades like on most cars. The oil temps get upward of 220 every time I'm in traffic for more than 15...

Kenchan that is a good observation. It only happens on abrupt throttle input. The Corvettes I've had in the past would just go when you hit the throttle but they were automatics. Was wondering if...

No new tires, no electrical work. Engine revs fine in neutral, no lights other than the traction light.

The car has less than 13000 miles, but it did this since it was new. If I floor it in a higher gear it accelerates normally. I would say it happens at about 3000 RPM and higher. If I'm just...

Does anyone have any experience with the Seibon VT Style Carbon Fiber Hood or have pics of it on a car? Seems to be one of the better looking ones without the use of extremely large air vents.

It took a little more than 1/2 qt. Spilled some on the engine since I didn't have a funnel, which was a challenge to get to with a rag, but that should get me to the first oil change. (I'm on the...

If you switch it off will it...
