I had nothing but problems with the Classic Roadster's radiator. It would overheat in slow stop and go traffic and when running the car up to 80 MPH. The faster I went the hotter it got. The only time it ran at a somewhat normal temp was between 30 and 60 mph. I ditched this rad and went with the griffin rad and dual spal fans fron Don Scott. It took a little fabricating of the front rad hoop holder thingy, but I have never regretted it. (my car is a 92 and I understand that the newer ones have a slight design change on the hoop holder thingy to accomodate a better rad. You should check with Don Scott for the correct info on that).

With the Griffin, my temp never goes over 195. runs mostly at around 175. I am a happy camper now !
