#1657 arrives during the Polar Vortex!
 
#1657 arrived at the dealer yesterday! Very exciting. Initial walk around looks good and still awaiting the carbon fiber bits and full PDI including air box. No hurry since it's -8 degrees out at the moment. No cracks in the cup tires either.

My newly built one is still in rail transit someplace in the Midwest. I am concerned about the cooling system not being protected to such low temps and the block cracking.

Congrats, and yes we all need some warmer weather for sure. :)

the cooling system is protected to at least -35 below .. dont be surprised is the washer fluid is partially froze up. Shouldnt hurt it.

Of course not, but I see listings of -25 degrees F as spec for some factory antifreeze fills. It could easily be -40 they tell me in some places. I have had a block cracked in a transport before.

It's sunny and 68 inside where they're staying!

Thanks again guys, its a pleasure to do business with you guys.

CamarosRus 01-30-2019 01:48 PM

Is there a GM "Block Heater"option available from the factory or a GOOD one that can be added
after market ????

I think we will be ok man. I have to admit I did think about it also. I think mine is on one also.
