Careful now ... some of us love all things Italian. And truthfully, Maserati's are really not that big!

So wait, this would cost $400+?

Screw that.

Just thinking about this...what is the average coolant temp? Isn't using hot coolant to cool hot oil somewhat less efficient than using much cooler air, despite coolants much larger heat capacity? Based on that I am thinking that these can't outperform an aftermarket radiator style cooler, but still a nice additional feature for sure.

This has been discussed ad nauseam. Jordo and myself both have posts detailing the pros and cons of different cooling methods.

I suspect this cooler will be more than sufficient for most use, even for light track duty....but we will see.

That seems like a lot of tubing for an oil cooler.
