Default Does your S2k get hot.

When driving with the top down, it's not that noticeable, but when the top is up, it gets warm/hot in the car without the heat or ac vents open (and when it

Our car is downright frigid compared to a Viper!

Here's a hint:

We have a great HVAC system. Use it to regulate the internal cabin environment so that it is comfortable for you. When it's too cool, turn the heat knob clockwise and use the fan switch at a setting that is most comfortable for you. When it's too hot, push that little "A/C" button and turn the heat knob counter-clockwise to make the cabin a bit cooler. Adjust the vent selection knob to place the incoming air in the desired places.

Love the lesson Viper.
Halfway through I'm thinking "Is he seriously teaching how to operate the HVAC controls?"

I wouldn't have minded a climate control system in the car, but in the interest of simplicity (and symmetry) on the dash I kind of like doing it myself.

You should try driving a 911 when you yanked the old engine heat pad off the firewall and one of the heat exchangers wont vent all the way... so the heat is stuck slightly on while driving...heck after I fixed it all it still wasnt cool.. just barely better.. This thing is as comfy as a 750il compared to an old 911.

Wusses.

There are 2 clear things called windows. When you feel a little too warm, push down those buttons on the doors that roll the windows down. You'll actually feel cooler.


Imagine that...

It is strange to feel the heat of the engine/transmisson in a car, if you've been around "regular modern" cars.

But for this car its completely normal. Except for a couple of cases where some people's dash would bubble over from the heat of the engine. However I think that was in the 00-01 years and not very many people had that problem.


Hell forget putting down the windows and turning on the AC, put down the TOP and drive faster!!!!
