I have a couple of questions that may be dumb. Why wouldn't the HE come direct from the factory like this? Why was everyone so worried about a dual intake filter and horns blocking the airflow into the radiator when this does the same thing (although air does travel through at a very restricted rate? Does blocking the air condition/engine radiator cause any long term problems? This seems like a no-brainer, but if it is a no-brainer then why do most cars come with an upper radiator and lower heat exhanger?
Thanks
I think it all has to do with cost... Sure they could've used a bigger heat exchanger, but they also could've crammed in a V8 and 10" tires, etc etc etc, the list goes on. All the car manufacturer needs to do is ensure the car lasts past its warranty expiration and gives a performance level that the sports car buyer is looking for. Chrysler just needs the car to be fun and reliable for 3 years/33K miles. Their below-average methods of cooling are good enough to accomplished that.
