The highest I ever saw in Vegas was 126 degrees but I didn't capture it on film. Best I got was 104.

I used to drop the roof and have the AC on max. Used to get a few strange looks from other drivers

Mad Dogs and Englishmen ....................

That's hot hot hot.

it was 98 at 9pm as I drove away from our gtg. It was Sin City Vettes 1st Year Anniversary and it was hot, but we were all eating ice cream from Sonic and of course it's dry heat.

Hows the car running with those temps?
no problem with ac and she's running 210 at stop light.

On that very day I was stuck in the Phoenix Airport - it was too hot to fly and we had to sit until evening until the temps went down low enough to take off
