It's basically a filler and the synthetic oil breaks down quicker because there's less of it in the engine.

Leave the non-synthetic and blends to the Priuses. A high performance car needs to be full synthetic especially if you race with it. It might cost more but you won't have to change it as often. A blend, you gotta change it like you would conventional.
it's not so much a $ issue, as the difference is ~$10. so would castrol full synthetic be okay? i've been using the synthetic blend for the longest time (on my 07 SI, 07 Z, and now my 09Z) and i don't race/track my car.
