Bought the z06 because review said better radiator. Grrr.
DeWitts makes a better radiator for the stingray.. wonder if it is better than the Z06 one

This reminds me of an old Rock Hudson movie!
I think he was playing an American auto manufacturer executive that left out or put in a cheap bracket or something to save ~$10 per car back then.

That is really p--s poor. No way that is enough radiator for 650 hp. I am sure my c7z51 would overheat at a track day. My c5z with 600whp, na, has a Ron Davis radiator and does not get hot at all. It was pathetic with factory radiator.
It would be a lot better than the factory. Ron Davis stuff is great too. I think he will make you whatever you need radiator wise.

This is not the car nor the group to cheap out on parts with. It's not going to take the press and owners years to figure out something is up.

What is overheating?
Engine coolant; oil; transmission fluid.
What tranny?

I was there all afternoon. I did not see a ZO6 there. I did see a Blue Z51 Stingray and a Black standard Stingray. Since you posted this in the ZO6 forum I assume you're talking about a ZO6???????

Got a general temp warning, then noticed that water was approaching red line so he backed off. He did not have display set to monitor other temps. He did say he passed sound with a minor lift neat the booth, so that's good. (no lift = red flag every lap).

Lag Blue Z06. Black interior. His name is Greg. He may not have run all sessions. He was supposed to be running his Miata to prep for race.

Brutal. Third one in about a week between the Motor Trend test, LG Motorsport, and now this. Summer is coming and it looks like it's going to only get worse.
