Is there any reason for the intercooler bypass?

[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16036726, member: 9628"] I grabbed this picture of Fletch's GT500, it shows the car being pressed into a left turn, I am not sure how hard he is pressing his car in the photo, but it appears to be at least moderately...........and I am not sure that it is a really tight left turn, it dies not appear to be....... [ATTACH=full]1523905[/ATTACH] Note the splitter distance to the ground left side and right side, Cat's coolant level red line would be at that same angle and even worse if the car is "Really" being pressed into a turn (and possibly also braking). <<<This is what agitates the coolant and air together and the reason for the reservoir bypass. If the car were in a right turn, the red line would be high on the drivers side and lower on the passenger/ coolant inlet side. The harder the car is pressed, the more coolant red line angle. I'll bet the SVT Engineers take Great liberties when pressing these cars during testing....... Thanks Fletch, Cool picture. R [/QUOTE]
