DOES 200,

The ELC coolant is good stuff; we have it in all of our Cat equipment -- and using it day in and day out does not form any white deposit crap on the radiator tubes. Our radiators die because of sandblasting -- this should not be a problem with a Pantera, unless you are traveling across the Sahara or other sandy, windblown locales. Just been our experience. ELC (extended life coolant) also has a wonderful corrosion additive that lasts a really long time (500,000 miles or some crazy high number).

There is another product out there that racers use and have really good luck with it. Of course, the only trouble that I am aware with it, unless someone else knows their stuff about this firsthand, is that is is terrible expensive. Like $40 per gallon -- yes, you heard correct. It is a waterless coolant that has a very high boiling point (370 degrees fahrenheit) that does not require any pressure to operate. It is better to keep the engine from detonating, it allows a smaller radiator because it is more efficient, and there is no water in the stuff to boil off, so no topping off is needed. From their website, looks like it is compatible with all kinds of metals too.

My only question with this stuff is, how long does it last, and is there any negatives that go along with this stuff other than the price?

Does anyone out there have any experience with this Evans NPG product? Here is the website for Evans, and no, I am not a salesman for the company (I am just looking for the best stuff to put in my car too):
