I notice the warm air myself in my roadster. I think it's just because the engine is so close to the cabin and it runs at a fairly high temperature after some driving. My temperature gauge reads fine.

uh.......have you made sure that you turned the temperature **** all the way to the left? Instead on it being on 90, make sure its on 60 or 65 or whatever. Even if the fan is off, the air pressure created by the car moving forward is enough to force hot air through the heating system and into the passenger compartment....

Some of it has to do with the fact that the cats are right under the driver/passanger position with very little heat shielding. If you drive about 100 miles you'll notice that the floor is getting uncomfortably warm.

Yeah I get the same heat from the vents even with the heat off. Especially when heavy on the gas. The Z runs hot thats why you get it. Its normal for a hot running engine.

New thought...hot air expands, the air in your heat system will always be hot because the engine is hot, that would make hot air come out of the vents(slowly but surely) even if all your air conditioner settings are turned off.
