Default engine temps

Curious to know if the Z is able to take a constant 120km/h for a good 45 minutes twice a day.

I make a daily commute to work which takes 30-40 minutes on the highway twice a day and just wanna know if it will effect the performance of my engine if I drive it at a constant 120km/h the entire time.

Ive been wathcing my tempature gauge and everything seems to be fine but lmk your opinions

Haha dude you have nothing to worry about, your stuff is gonna stay cool with the wind from those speeds and your not in high revs so you are not even close to overheating, you'd have to cruise at over 200km/h to overheat

So what you're asking us is whether the Z can handle a 65mph cruise for 40 minutes without overheating... I hope for your sake that you mean in second gear, at 7000 rpm...

Normally I don't like to give a55hole response like davidv does, but come on...

you're joking right? 120 km/h = 74.56 (or rounded to a nice even 75) is perfectly ok.

His comment may have been a little mean, but come on. It was almost called for. You think your car will overheat after 40 mins doing 75mph? You have owned cars before, yes?

totally uncalled for. here is a hint: you don't like what davidv posts, there is this thing called the ignore button. otherwise when you respond in the manner that you did here (and other threads as well) it just makes you look like an idiot for getting upset over words on the internet.

Totally uncalled for. Please use more tactfully words to convey you dismay for other members in the future. TOU 10 violation...
