Stop in for a cup of coffee

Do like I did when I worked the Chevron in the Mojave "When you head up Baker Grade or Tehachape Pass, turn off the AC, open the windows, and turn on the heater." Baker grade is an often used test area for cooling system suppliers and builders. 900' elevation to 4200' elevation in 19 miles. Summer time temp at the base is daily 110° June-September. Doesn't help that it's only 40 miles from Death Valley :lol:

Exactly. The car manufacturers aren't all the dummies us experts make them out to be. After all their calculations and experience, they still test to the extreme. Jaguar had a car, or maybe it was two, that spend the summer in Death Valley and the Winter in the Upper Peninsula - and they're a small manufacturer.

Drag strip or a cruise night is not the same as an hour in the mountains or 16 hours on the interstates.

The worst part is the traffic to get into the venue.

That's one of the reasons I'm not into the car shows. Carlisle is quite a wait even at 8 AM, but at least it moves along. Englishtown was brutal. Never over heated on either but not enjoyable. Came very close on I-95 late one hot Sunday night heading back to NJ for work the next day.

Oh, and lets put a super heavy race clutch in for the street - because race car.... That would add to the fun too. And just cook in the sun, leg aching, sore knee, overheating and bumper to bumper traffic. I will pass

One of the reasons I didn't make this Barracuda into a 4 spd. If I get a second one...
