Chevrolet has dedicated significant engineering resources to minimize the effects of heat soak in the ZL1. The results of Chevrolet efforts can be seen in the 24 hour endurance test that Chevrolet conducted on the track with the ZL1. I don't believe that significant heat soak related complaints were registered during the 24 hour endurance test.

when was the test run? sept? still warm. but not the dog days of summer. Heat soak will be a huge issue in the south. which is where I plan to live and race. Also those were only 40 min sessions. enduro racing lasts longer.

Why would anyone care what the "SVT guys" believe or don't believe?

Not just SVT guys. People on this forum also.


Seriously, equating the ZL1's reputation to the Fiero's?

I'm equating the reputation. not the actual car. btw I like the fiero. especially with a small block v8 in the back.
