I love the 335 but I find it ridiculous that a new $45k sporty car doesn't have adequate cooling capacity to handle sustained track use.
I'm tremendously concerned. I mean, I'm doing everything I can to combat it. I can't really do much until VK releases the retrofit. I really just don't want to sacrifice my driving education because of this cars stupid oil temp issues. This is my first year tracking and I'm getting a ton of time in and progressing rapidly, so if I have to push the car a bit I'll worry about that later.
