Default General ZO6 Questions
1. Does the ZO6 come with stock oil and trans coolers?
2. I read in the FAQ section that the Corvette ZO6 undergoes 250 miles of autocross testing, full-throttle tests, etc. Is this true for EVERY ZO6 off the assembly line, or just a quality control test from time to time?

Thanks ya'll!

2) That was on some "test mules" during development ... no way they do that on every car made.

DRM's Ron Davis radiator with integrated oil cooler kit. Best upgrade I ever made to my car. Serious.

The DRM diff and trans coolers are the way to go if you need cooling back there. The heat exchangers and pumps mount where the rear brake ducts are. They run about $600 each.

I have the Ron Davis radiator with oil cooler and it's a very nice piece.
