idk my z only overheated on the track once. But in the z06 section many reported overheating doing spirited driving on the street. I guess the class action lawsuit will tell us hey?

I took a C4 with an L98 engine out for The Road Tour at Bloomington Gold one year. Lots of burnouts and abuse, got it up to 300 degrees and it wouldn't come down. I thought, oh no I'm going to warp the heads off this thing. Got out on the open road and finally got it back to normal, somehow it wasn't the worse for wear. I DO NOT recommend this, but was surprised how the car tolerated it.

Overheating
I have a c4 and my fans turn on @ 225° and it's gotten high as 250 do I like that of course not, so I installed a 4 core solid aluminum radiator, a 160° thermostat, and it still can get up to those temperatures if I'm driving hard and I do, but with the changes, she cools down much more quickly, and on the hwy it cruises at around 175-80 before it ran round 205-210, so the proof is in the puddin
