Reply to "Waterless engine coolant"

I read their FAQ, and generally, it seems like a bunch of hype to sell a product that costs close to $100 for 5 Litres (free shipping, though).

Cars have been just fine running on Ethylene Glycol Coolant for nearly 100 Years.

You might be better off to just change your coolant yearly, and ensure your cooling system is in good condition. Their FAQ did not mention that the boiling temperature of water increases under pressure (and your Pantera cooling system should run at a 13 or 16 psi pressure).

At 10 PSI over ambient, water boils at 234 F. (114 Deg C). My engine runs at 190 Deg. F - I have 44 Deg F of margin (and I was being conservative on the operating pressure of the system).

Just my opinion, but I can't afford $500 for coolant to fill my radiator.

YMMV (or your wallet).
