That (997) sure take a lot of beating...
I'm sure the 4.8-litre V8 BMW engine gives off just as much heat as the Ferrari and the 997 and hence their large coolant capacities.
But I guess the factory knows what they're doing when they gave that small [coolant] figure...
BTW, I drove across the Nullarbor on my way back to Perth a few months ago and noted that the water temperature gauge was reading uncomfortably high - in fact, a little more than 3/4 of the way up! Usually, it would read Normal even on a long run. So in that respect, I would have thought that a larger coolant capacity could be the answer.
However, as it's nearing the time for a system flush and new coolant, I thought I would try a product called Evans Waterless Coolant. From what I've read, it looks like the solution to my query - to keep the temperature gauge from climbing too high even on a long run!
