GM learned a lot about track cooling with the ZL1 and ZR1.

I have a feeling the C7 Z06 was initially designed with some severe cost compromises(the C7 being as good as it was with a shoestring budget was a miracle).

The two radiators up front on the C8 are combined much larger than the single on the C7, at least according to the chief engineer. Then add on a third radiator in the rear for the Z51's and the exhaust fans in the engine compartment. It should be good even with a TT V8 sitting back there.
