Now the Viper, that's another story!

stock Z06 brakes will cook your brake fluid like water on the stove. A viper will cook everything!!

Nothing some better pads and brake fluid won't fix.

Z06's have transmission cooling issues if you run the shit out of them also, but these are things that can be solved rather easily and will never be encountered on the street anyway.

In regards to #1, be careful. A few weeks ago I was out at Button Willow Springs with a few friends of mine, and they had a guy with a Z06, and another with a regular C5. Both had to come in repeatedly as they said their temperature shot up and they were over heating after 2 hot laps, also their brakes were fading. I was with a friend in an RX7, and we thought his would overheat but it would go 5 laps before overheating.

stock c5(z06) cooling fan (and thermostat) are set to turn on at 21x degrees for emission reason, most of the vette owner bring it down to 16x-17x degrees, for ~$30 (maybe reprogrammed PCM ?)

considering that the rear diff. is attached to the tranny, that would generate alot of heat, nothing a set of ~$2k tranny/diff cooler can't fix
