on race tires, I would imagine the same conditions could starve the motor to the point of stall

still, how many turns do you know of on the street that require driving at 1.0g for 3-4 seconds ??? this falls into the category of so many other things on this car that are not 'race ready'... it is what it is... part of the reason we pay $34K not $70K
