the pure glycol stuff from europe thats really spendy? from what i know its great stuff that you "never have to change" much more practical for older full ferrous metal engines. it "soaks" alot better into cast iron and such. and i think 30 degrees of higher boiling point. now use in a performance aluminum block like we have im not sure itd be quite as well suited especially for the price. standard freeze or dexcool is more than enough for the street.

yeah, that stuff... thinking about putting it in my '68 and my supercharged 01... should cool better and reduce chance of blown hoses and coolant leaks as without water it shouldn't build pressure up? don't want to be a pioneer though and would like to hear from anyone with actual experience with the stuff in a Vette... it is pricey at about $35 a gallon plus you need the pre-conditioner that helps remove water from system...
