Time to allow people to fish in the Z06 parts bin to build an a'la Grand Sport'ish. I am bettin that widebody is getting whored out in a year or two. So be it. Still waitin for some real good stuff....hopefully in years to come.
My flight leaves Wed, will be at SEMA thurs and fri...WOOT! Hoping to find some new goods.

The second radiator kit looks like a step in the right direction for solving the cooling, except it isn't available for the A8 guys. Why is only available for M7 cars?

Scraping the splitter.
The LG and other AM rads also do not appear to be transmission specific. Considering the trans cooler is separate, not sure why they would be.
Perhaps GM only validated it on M7 cars.

Or they want people with auto's/considering buying auto to stop tracking them and/or considering them as a track option due to the overheating/failure issues that seem to be showing themselves a little more here and there. I am thinkin GM doesnt' wanna lose their *** on tranny warranty claims.

Agreed. Adding the secondary plus an aftermarket radiator would probably make a big difference. There's an "ask Tadge" about the transmission cooler and he says the area moves a lot of air despite being closed from the bottom.

The release is a little confusing the:
Corvette Secondary Radiator Kit
This kit adds cooling capability to manual transmission Corvettes (base Stingray, Z51 and Z06). The engine coolant temperatures are lowered 25 degrees F along with lowering engine oil temperatures 15 degrees F. The addition of the Z06 grille further enhances the cooling performance of this kit.
... is of course applicable to M7 Z06s.
But the "Corvette Z06 600-Watt Radiator Fan" reads like an upgrade for the Stingray and something that the Z06 already has. In fact pretty much all of the things listed there are to make Stingrays look and have some of the features of the Z06.
Can anyone confirm if we do or don't already have a 600w rad fan?

Sounds to me like they may want to play warranty shenanigans if you use this stuff. Guess we'll see.

Offering Z06 parts on the Stingray!. To me it means there is a new corvette version in the way!

Here's a link from Jegs that states that:

That said, the part number is not the same as the standard Z06 part number, according to parts sites online.
The secondary radiator should be a big deal though.

M7 here. When can we expect this to go live so that the dealers can replace this under warranty?
I have never experienced any overheating issues, but it would be nice to have this fix so that I never will.
