Ya man, radiators dont need airflow or anything like that!


Well... packed with snow would work to cool the fluid just as well as warm air passing in the summer no? And also at less then 10mph not like much air would flow through regardless so I would say donuts on dry pavement are far more detrimental than in snow i'd venture to assume. Not like I did it for like 4 hours straight. Was there for like 45min to a hour. Some of that was spent drifting the semi cleared road also. If anything breaks build it better stronger more powerful. Every one of my performance cars has always been whooped on in hopes of breaking something just to make it better stronger

But alas I bought my first house and now live in Florida, and miss the winter months so bad, I am a snow fanatic whether it be having fun in cars or going to the mountains to ski :( even stayed up north an extra winter just to try and get some snow before moving down, and all we got was a light dusting once that winter. waited a whole extra year to move into the house I bought.

Wow bro sorry you can't afford to do it in your vette.. Oh wait. That's right. I also guess you don't have a clue that there is really no access from the front of the car to the radiator on a vette. It's the air dam under the car the pushes the air up. The radiator wasn't really packed with snow, I was just humoring his post. Look at the pic in my profile and tell me how snow could work it's way up to the radiator please. Under the whole front of the nose is a cover, up to the air dam about 1-2 feet from the front of the bumper. The radiator is then tucked a good foot up from the air dam. Good thing you own a vette and know this though.. Oh wait again

Omg the roads are so bad outside. The plow trucks came by last night and burried me in ?? Not a chance I plowed through 4 ft of snow like nothing .never seen anything like this before. You can't see the lines in the road . All you can see is ice everywhere with snow ontop haha. Went to get wendys and passed four people stuck on the two mike trip there and back lol. I wish I would have got a 4x4 sooner . What have I been doing
