Your lucky thats all the mess you got and not any fender benders.
I got chased down by 2 Fords comming out of LA this weekend.
A GT fagstang and a F150 raced out.
I killed both really bad..I was running hot too. There is a heatwave.. I am going to see if I boiled over too..

note, The Mustang would not give up..he was pwend a few times, even up a grade. he tried to cut me off at around 100 and I jumped the next lane (Open Lucky) and destroyed him..He was pissed..

The C32 does not run hot nor does it have overheating issues. I run mine with pulleys and chip in the 110 degree weather at Willow Springs for 25 minutes straight at full-throttle. Even ran laps with the AC on by mistake, it has never run hot.

maybe you should have it checked out by the dealer. after racing other people on the highway, i never had any problems of liquids coming out of the car.

i would get your car checked out.

I have run the C32 for 5 50 minute sessions 2 days in a row on Summit Point and no overheating problems. The temperature at the track was easily 100 as this in the middle of July.

It feels noticeably slower yes but does not overheat or leak coolant.

I checked over the cooling system for any leaks or cracks in anything and couldn't find any.
