When I post to this forum I try to provide information and facts to share that knowledge with my fellow enthusiasts. I'm here to learn and to help others learn. I really don't understand folks such as yourself who add no value to the reader and just fill the forum with a bunch of noise to sift through.

Scraping the splitter.
My Viper ACR is not guaranteed to overheat either. It's also not guaranteed to run :26's at Road Atlanta and :56's at VIR.

This is the Autoblog article in question.
https://www.autoblog.com/2017/12/01/...ngs-racetrack/
There is some good info in it. It also details that GM increased the testing threshold to 100-degrees from 86.
I also noted that GM didn't guarantee that the ZR1 would make owners more popular and likable.

I see a substantial amount of cooling on board with the ZR1, competitive with the rest of sports cars in its class. This and the Grand Sport are adequately cooled if M7. My only critique is that it wasn't made available for the Z06 from the start (even if for extra money).

They are too! ;)
The A8 less than The Ring's Springtime 75 degrees hammered for 7 minutes. And the laborious M7 relatively goes from there. They are self limiting!?
I thought Tadge said that!?

We know you hate the Z06 so now you spread hate to a car you have no idea about . But one thing for sure no Camaro will be insight!
Plus I wouldn't swap any C7 Z06 for any Camaro.

Why is that list of some guys '14 C7 posted everywhere
Here's one how about the SHUDDER lots of us have experienced. Doesn't the A8 have this problem?

I have never seen any company state it their car will NEVER overheat. If so please point me in the right direction so I can educate myself

And I am a Porsche and Corvette guy with no animosity to either brand. Of the two cars from Porsche and Corvette that interest me today-the 991 GT2RS and the C7ZR1-I think I prefer the ZR1, since the GT2RS doesn't come with a manual, and is grossly overpriced-even before dealer markups which have ranged to over $100K ADM-ridiculous.

I'm confused, overheat in one lap, ten, 20.......70, 80, 90 degrees? 
I do know this, I ran my car hard for 20 minutes around Castrol Speedway in Edmonton in 32 degree heat and in each of those sessions my car didn't overheat, mind you it's not supercharged, just the run of the mill Stingray Z51 7 spd.....I guess having more power isn't necessarily better.
