Because of the lower radiator fluid tank, the GT automatic transmission causes the car to run about 10-20 degrees hotter than comparable manual transmission installations. When additional cooling is needed for a performance application, its easiest to just install a denser 3-row core into the existing radiator housing, than to try to match a non-Opel radiator design to the GT's mounts. Typically, this can be done by a local radiator shop, although prices can vary widely (at the peak of the copper price bubble last year, some asking prices topped $500, which made an aluminum option comparably more feasible).
