You have a point there...
but I guarantee we will see times at some point. We know the car was there.

I read all the journalist stories about it staying cool no matter how hard it was pushed BUT ....... this was also said about the Z06 when it was released. It was not until the Z06 was being driven by the new owners did the over heating problems start to be known after they put track time in. In time and numerous Z06 buy backs later did everyone know it was not as reliable as advertised on the track.

Not only the journalists but the GM guys as well. I sat at lunch with Aaron Link and grilled him over this very subject. It was a huge relief to hear his comments about long runs in the AZ desert and in Vegas and all the track testing he was involved with. It should be a non-issue. And as a die-hard manual guy he was also totally sold on the A10.
I've got my eye on a 3 gauge a-pillar pod and will be watching IAT2 on my car and will be able to report numbers or I'll plug up my laptop and check them there. I think one of the reasons we don't see a Z/28 is due to no heat soak and the additional LT4 hp. Would have been hard to beat.
