Does the Vette still only have a quart or so in the rear end with no cooler?

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.
