They do have differential coolers, but when was the last time you heard of a rear differential failure in a C6 Corvette? I haven't. Except drag racing with slicks and 700+rwhp, but that's not a heat soak issue. But they do have pumps and coolers? Would you like to see a photo?

Can the trans take the punishment with no cooler?
Absolutely. And the C6 Z06, C6 ZR1, and C6 Gran Sport *DO* have coolers. The 6speed manuals will easily take the punishment.

A blown car makes a lot of heat, did they get the oil cooler right for hot lapping?
Sure, but this is the Z06 -- naturally aspirated. Not blown. The ZR1 is blown, and makes 133 more horsepower and mountains more torque.

The brakes might hold up, do they all have front brake cooling ducts?
Yes, they have cooling ducts, front and rear. Again they're carbon ceramic brakes, a little larger than the Porsche's

The Vette would be a better car with the Porsche seats.
God yes. The GT3 RS seats are to die for.
