Can any of you E-Ray owners tell me if the E-Ray has the additional engine radiator in the driver's side rear of the vehicle, just like the European Stingray has the added radiator? I have tried to Google the cooling systems in the forums and elsewhere and not found any definitive information.

Thanks for your time and help.
They have the same extra cooling that the Z51 package has.
Thank you for the photos Q Pilot. That helps clear some things up. So it sounds to me like the European radiator and crossover hoses would be a good addition to an E-Ray to keep the temperatures in check in warm climates as well as if you are a track junky. I wonder if the exact part numbers work across the board for Stingray to E-Ray or narrow body to wide body?

Any thoughts??
I live in the Las Vegas area, my temperature normally runs between 165 to 185. I don’t track my E-Ray but occasionally punch it. I did the Ron Fellows E-Ray class at the end of July last year and it was hot. None of our class E-Rays had any overheating issues, we always did a cool down lap which helped. So I don’t think it necessary. There was an older thread where an E-Ray forum member added the extra radiator but I can’t find it.
Very best E-Ray technical demonstration and discussion, Jay Leno and Tadge.
At the 14:50 mark they start to talk about cooling systems, E-Ray having the greatest amount of cooling of any normally aspirated Corvette.
And, at one point Tadge talks about being at Spring Mountain with 110 degree outside temps, and the coolest place to be is tearing up the track with the A/C blowing on you, and the cars having no problem handling the temps.
