I'm pretty certain that the operating temperature is not the issue, but what's the actual operating temperature for reference purposes?

Getting an accurate reading is difficult in the FTO but I find when my gauge hits around 60 degrees, I know it's pretty safe to floor it....in a responsible and controlled manner of course

thanks for the offer FTOluv, but it's a bit out of the way

hehe.
Plus the price range is a little bit higher than the ones I'm looking at right now anyway.
Nice car btw, looks clean as.

you'll find that people generally selling their car under $14K have problems with it. To find a decent one u need to spend above $14K.
Just my 2 cents
