Chevy has a much different
Chevy has a much different definition of “validated” than anyone else I’ve met at a track day. My car is stock 2017 manual and even in the mid 70’s the coolant at laguna Seca will get up 228 degrees and I have the lap times and temps on the PDR to prove it. I’m not even a record setting driver. The car should be under 200 at all times or it is pulling power, that’s what validated should mean. If they “validated” the car to be at 200 water at 87* ambient nobody would have an issue in 95+ it would just run at 215-225 but it’s obviously a lie. It probably got to 255* water which is 7* under their limp mode “overheating” point.
