ZLE A10 heavy track use

ZRacerLE · 10-06-2019, 01:26 PM

Does anyone know if the new A10 in the 1LE overheats under heavy track use or high ambient temperatures? I know the manual has more than enough cooling. Just wondered how the A10 was holding up in the 1LE. I know it's tuned for road racing and that's what has me ready to pull the trigger on one.

I ran at Sebring back in August where the temp. was 97*. Ran fine all day - no issues. 2019 ZLE

Nice. That's what I was hoping to hear.

I’m sure if there was overheating concerns putting the A10 behind the ZLE they would have likely been rectified before releasing it to the public. I wouldn’t think with the success so far with the ZL1 and ZLE that The team would just take a chance at throwing the automatic into the track package without thorough testing.
My thoughts obviously.

I've run the A10 ZL1 20ish days on track without issue including multiple sessions in the mid-90's. Zero issues.

I would think so too, but the C7Z06 A8s overheat, so I'm being cautious or maybe even paranoid. I was pretty shocked and disappointed to see that happen with Chevy's at the time most track capable corvette. It does seem like the ZLE benefited from a lot of lessons learned...

Did you run the power steering cooling ducts that came in the trunk?

viurniel · 10-07-2019, 07:42 AM

No overheating issues.

HEAVY TRACK USE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE....

I installed the track day ducts for my track day. No problems.

Nope - changed to SRF brake fluid and that was it.

Put the power steering ducts in and run it with SRF. Be prepared to go through tires every 4 days and pads every 6-8. Rotors will last about as long as the pads maybe a session or two longer.
