Is it good to take the car out on a hot day?

[RevvRX-7]

For long periods of time? Thank u!

[J-Rat]

Why wouldnt it?

[Soyo]

the engine is way hotter than the tempature outside ever is so I don't see what the problem would be, unless somehow you have a worse than stock cooling system, which would be dumb anytime...

[MBTN]

It warms up a hell of a lot faster, why not take it out?

[RevvRX-7]

Oh..well that makes sense.. -smacks self- o_x

Wow, you are all dumb. It isnt good to get on a rotary when it is a hot day. This concept works the same as why it is better to drive on cool days. Rotarys run much hotter, so dont race when it is hot.

Yes, yes I do. You can drive when its hot. Just dont get on it, or hit boost. Its not good for the car, trust me.

I sat in bumper to bumper traffic for an hour yesterday and it was like 80 out. My car didn't overheat. And yes you can get on it if it's hot out.

Well I live in Texas where it hits 100 alot, thats the kind of Hot that im talking about

[darkjedi04]

I live in florida :sigh: and it usually gets 90-95 degreese outside and i've always drivin mine, i'd say you should be fine.

Here in Canada it can still get real warm and muggy out. I think that driving when its hot will not break down your car, but it does work the car harder to keep it at its perfect temperature (especially when a/c drains the power)... I think the heat also puts more ware on your tires when it does get too hot and dry

The temperature inside your engine when running is hotter than it is outside, whatever air you bring in will be cooler than what the temp already is, if it is cold it just cools more, hot and it cools less. What feels hot to us is not hot to our engines. Even on a cold day, after bringing the car in the garage I could fry an egg on the motor, it is at a temperature many times higher than the hot air is on a hot day, so then the hot air is cooler than the motor. Granted it wont cool the motor down much, it definately wont heat it up, may allow you to get the motor to make a temperature that is hotter than normal, but doubtfully significantly hotter.

PS: never trust someone who puts "trust me" at the end of most of his posts it is almost always a sure sign you are dealing with a fuckwit.

PPS: This kid has someone do all the work on his cars as stated earlier, why is it that he thinks he is an expert.

PPPS: I'm not an expert either don't listen to me, Dayna or J-Rat will have the answer.

man in Kansas it get up to a 100 just like Texas(and yes I know, I lived in Texas for 6 years before I moved to Kansas) and I get on mine on hot days all the time, then afterwards I can even cruise with the ac on and have no problems... "trust me"
