Good points depending on what your goals are. I like longevity and power and find it challenging to get both. These cars are good for people who like challenges that's for sure.
I have raced my car for 3 years with a 160 stat...F-body rad...and Dual Spal Fans and can't complain. I have NO A/C so that's even more airflow to my radiator being the condenser is gone.
Now cruising my car is ALWAYS at 160-168....when racing after a WOT pull its at 178, then back down to 165 after letting it sit for a few minutes, and to tell you the truth It makes me feel much better seeing those low temps....
