Here in Socal one of the popular Porsche only AC places tells 928 owners to go away.

Ever heard of an engine bay mod that would allow the excessive heat to escape?
Like altering the grill to allow more air in, and also modding the aft bay to allow heat to be pushed out? Like raising up the hood mounts a couple of inches. It would look weird, but.......
My Volvo XC70's engine bay gets super hot, and stays hot for a very long time because the engine is basically sealed in by the big plastic belly pan. I took the belly pan off, and now the engine bay has no problem evacuating the excessive heat.
The engine gets dirty faster now, but that's okay, I can clean it up real quick.
By the way, I'm a hopeful future 928 owner.
