If any of you have done lapping days or practice on a road course I'm interested in how well the oil, transmission and differential coolers worked on your c6. What temps did you experience?

Thanks

Not yet, but I took it on a very spirited drive with the Porsche Owners Group last weekend. It ran fine with no oil loss despite a muti-hour flogging session.

No, but I have run the car very hard on canyon roads for between 30 - 45 minutes non stop. The oil temp was stable but I'd have to check the number for you. The transmission tunnel gets very hot which effects the temp inside the car. The 6mn has worked flawlessly. All the shifts remain direct and positive. With the torque so even across the rev band you don't have to necessarily downshift as often.
