Limp mode

This poll is to see how common limp mode really is(within the limits of a voluntary poll).

For clarification, limp mode generally occurs when some parameter is outside of safe operational specs. In this case, oil temperature is the usual cause on the track and the over the road choice is meant to ask the same thing.

It depends on what you mean by limp mode...if you mean loss of sound I think everybody here experiences that once the car gets heated enough to cancel out the effectiveness of the CAIs...but I'm not 100% sure I actually loose power too, although I can't say I'd be completely suprised...that would actually make since though if the heat cancels out the CAIs.

But I think it has to be pretty common if your not running forced induction or a SC.

I could be wrong though...I'm sure someone will let me kno if I am...lol.

I tracked the same day as bruin, was running faster times than him, and never limp moded.

Could be because of the oil I was using (Motul 300V) as opposed to his Eneos.

Or maybe I'm just that much of a badass.
