Testing was performed using the same equipment GM uses during their own testing (literally the same - GM sent it to them).
This testing was done at VIR at full bore with track times in the 2:12s, and since I was present that July weekend with my own Camaro, I can verify that ambient temps were HOT.
Note that the car in question is STOCK in terms of the oil system and DOES NOT have an aftermarket oil cooler.
Special thanks to Grassroots Motorsports for allowing me to share the attached pdf with the forum, and be sure to check out summaries of the other stories on their 2015 Camaro SS project track car here. (Full stories are available in back issues.) |
Thanks for posting that. I wasn't sure if we could or not hijack it from their magazine or website. It was a good build and the insight on this matter was nice to see out in public.
