Hot stuff
It seems the forum is a bit slow so, I thought of stoking the fire.
Here is a clip of a G-compressor performing on rolling road. Besides the red hot exhaust notice the engine deflection upon deceleration through the exhaust pipe returning to rest. Or imagine on a long trip the heat generated by the exhaust would be hot enough to cook some fish or morsels of meat.... Humph, can already smell the fish.

Normally at those sustained revs on the road the manifolds would have a 140mph breeze keeping them cool.
What Bigblock says is true, but then you come to a queue for the motorway toll and its a hot summer day in the south of France and before you know it the engine temperature reaches 120. Don't know if anyone else has had a similar experience but I found it expedient to fit a manual over-ride switch so that I could start the fan before hitting the queue and thereby avoid the overheat.
not what he meant; the aerodynamic qualities of the G and on rushing air keeping everything cool
