Question from a relatively new ZR-1 owner: Why the cooling fans?

The rest of the list makes sense to me. I'm wondering if stock fans aren't great, or if yours just had issues.

Thanks.

PS. Phil's advice is spot on. :-)

Either that or use as many F-Body parts on the Z as you can. I just finished installing F-Body front wheel bearings.

Thank you. I was already schooled on the proper pronunciation of Bimmer by the Z brothers. Bimmer car. Beemer motorcycle.:dancing
