Message	I used to have to do that to keep my joop from overheating. When the temp needle started goin past 210, I'd blast the heat and bring her back down to temp. “A common question asked is do 2+2 Z's handle better than 2 seaters? The answer, in theory, is yes. The slightly longer wheelbase should provide better high speed stability and controllability when the rear starts to lose traction.”
