Feb. '09 Car and Driver road test lists Differential and Oil Cooler Options

Slidefox · 01-03-2009, 01:00 PM

Hmmm..... interesting!! I wonder if they had some aftermarkets put in, and printed them as factory options (wouldn't be the first time for C&D).

From previous reviews in Japan, the oil cooler is going to be needed for anything beyond spirited driving. The diff cooler is just added protection, IMO. Did they get the car on a track or just open road?

Just open road.

I wonder if the coolers will really be Nismo "dealer install" options in the future.

That's I'm waiting for more info on the Nismo. My thinking is that these will be standard features on that model. Granted, at a higher MSRP. I will be planning to do some track days.
