SO GM's finally got their heads outta their ass's and made an Aux engine radiator to cool the coolant and oil.
let's see if it explodes or not with this

Why don't people just stop flogging the shit out of them in the desert when it's 40+ fucking degrees C out?

No

But they don't overheat.

Too bad it's still slower than the GTR.
>>
>>13882352

Ya know people drive these in Canada too, eh?
>>
>>13882354
well they kinda do
hence why they made a
600watt fan vs the stock 500W
and this 2nd radiator to cool the engine coolant after the oil cooler.

>Canadian driver gets out and apologizes to car
Not very murican

>>13882361

That's still pretty damn hot for non desert dwellers. Let's see you RUN a lap around the track without getting heatstroke. Yet you expect a somewhat small engine tuned for max power to handle perfectly.

>>13882357
I gotta wonder if it's one guy posting this all the time, or it was originally just one guy and then others, in a poor attempt to fit in, started posting it too.

Yeah, sorry, no. Viper is king.

>>13882384
They regularly have track days in temps like that in a lot of the world, and most cars there don't overheat. Just admit there's a design flaw, fan-boy.

Desert just means dry location. You can have freezing cold deserts too.
>>
>>13882361
>even says the coolant temp is fine
So, you were saying?
>>13882372
Nothing in the article says anything about engine coolant or engine oil. They said it's a trans cooler.

Tuning companies have noted that the cooling performance is impressive, in fact. The issue is the way the factory set up the tune.
>>
>>13882444
you didn't read it
at the bottom of the page
2nd Rad for cooling after the fluid passes through the oil cooler.
they claim a 25F reduction
>>
>>13882462
>literally every review magazine finds one overheating problem of some sort
Prove it. I want to see temperature readings. Do you people care about facts at all?
>>
>>13882462
Yeah but who the hell wants to drive a computer on wheels with the interior of a Nissan Versa?

If I want to go fast around a track I'd get a dedicated track car or a shifter kart

I wasn't defending the Corvette, I was attacking that joke of a super car you call the GTR

Where are the temperatures? They don't even mention overheating.
>>
>>13882526
On the street, nothing is faster than the GTR. And since 99.7% of owners of those kinds of cars will never see a track, street results are the only ones that matter.

lap times are for advertising and not much else.

You might just be the worst poster on this entire board. Like you aren't even entertaining like Brosifine
>>
>>13882570
Why would it count? No one's mentioned bikes, we're talking cars only in here friend. No strawman allowed.
>>
>>13882584
When you look it's the fastest thing in the road, you have to include everything. Why would you conveniently leave out things that are faster?
>>
>>13882399
a fluid boiling fag-o-matic isn't even an option on based viper
>>
>>13882590
Because only one person is bringing up bikes in a thread that was clearly about cars. Special pleading isn't going to help their cause. Everyone knew it was about cars, and wanting everyone to change the rules in order to suit one guy is very unreasonable. It's a very tumblr-esque meltdown.
>>
>>13882604
>this assmad that his precious GTR is slower than a bike

The thread was about the Corvette, why are you faggots shitting it up with GTR talk?
>>
>>13882615
You seem triggered. Perhaps I'll put a trigger warning on my post in the future to protect your delicate sensibilities?

I have some questions about pink hair dye, what's your Skype?

>>13882486
You know that the Corvette is literally packed with computers too, right?

http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette-z06-supercar.html
>With the turn of a dial, everything changes. Five distinct, selectable driver modes electronically calibrate up to 12 performance variables to customize your Z06 for any road.

>With available 4G LTE Wi-Fi† connectivity, the latest Chevrolet MyLink† 8-inch diagonal screen

>Apple CarPlay† takes the iPhone features that are useful to use while driving

>Z06 helps to prevent potential danger with features like Active Handling

media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2015/apr/0424-vette-z06-c7-r.html

>technologies such as Magnetic Ride Control, Performance Traction Management and an electronic limited slip differential

So the question is:
Do you want a fast computer on wheels, or do you want an overheating computer on wheels?
>>
>>13882642
That Carplay and WiFi sure helps the car go faster

Rowing your own gears > letting the computer shift for you
>b-but muh lap times
Viper ACR would like to have a word with you
>>
>>13882678
>has no defense
>>
>>13882669
So use the paddles and shift faster than giving a handjob to your steaming hot car.

>GM trying to sell the corvette with a slushbox because it shifts fast
>GM fag trying to tell me that shifting slow is good

Goddamn GM IDF, get your story straight.

yes

Just because I can operate a clutch doesn't mean I don't want to go faster.

I don't even understand what's going on here, it's like you want to be slow.
