Saw a 240Z coming from Vegas today

I was driving back from Vegas today (back to S. Cal.) and I passed a white 240z going 60 with the windows down. I was wondering how it would take the heat. Since I was in a loaded truck the first climb he passed me. It looked just like my Z so I was laughing thinking I would never drive my Z to Vegas in the summer. Things looked good for the Z driver until his 60 mph fan stoped. There was major road contruction and we were stuck for over an hour. It was only a 108 degrees outside. I wouldn't want to guess how hot it was in the Z. ouch
I saw he car come out the other end before I turned into Baker. But now I really know why I don't want to take my 240Z to Vegas in the summer. lol

I drove my 240 to eastern oregon to meet my son on a fishing trip , it was 102 to 104 and I became stalled by road construction and slow traffic . My car never heated up . The temp went up just slightly while I was stopped but only a little. This was with the L-24 engine , I am installing a F-54 in few weeks , I hope it works as well.

I have been driving Z,s from the Bay area to Vegas from 83-89. And from Pocatello,Id to Vegas from 89-97. I did this drive every weekend. I have drivien every Z from 70-83. The only trouble I ran into was a blizzard in Cedar City in my 72 240Z. I had no traction and couldnot see anything. I ended up following a Semi into a rest area to sitit out.
