:huh:Noticed something peculiar while driving in mid-20 F weather (and sunny, no precipitation). I have had the rev lights flash and the rev-limiter cut off fuel when I reach speeds above ~120 mph, especially if its sustained for any length.
The Exige (presumably Elise as well) has an effective temperature-based variable rev-limiter.
The digital engine temp will read ~185'sh. When accelerating at these ambient air temps the engine temps will drop expectedly then completely disappear. This is when the lights start flashing.
Is this car so efficient at aero-cooling the engine? Is it dangerous to the mechanicals?
Short of sticking a piece of cardboard over the roof scoop are their any suggestions?
