Combined max weight limit of passengers & cargo is 500lbs , when you have a heavy passenger you will notice a big difference in performance and even cornering - 210lbs = - 21 HP . Did you have the car off for a while waiting at the airport ? They actually cool off pretty quickly. I drove and hour up to a weekend canyon run, had a quick 30 minute breakfast and as I pulled out to start the drive I floored it up a hill. The car hesitated a bit and was hitting the limiter and I was confused as hell. Then noticed I was not at temp yet ...... after a few minutes of driving all was good
