Lol! There is no comparison to sitting in your own pit at Jennings
GP and complaining that some butt hole is burning something and 3 minutes later that butthole is you falling out your chair because your tire warmers
are catching fire.
Relating the experience of a friend remarkably similar to present day me.
With tire warmers you either go all out or babysit them anytime they're plugged in.
But I'm with Rusty, I'd rather drop 2k on a set of axles , a triple clutch or a cage with harnesses. Of course if I had everything and 2k was burning a hole in my pocket.......I'd buy an STI 2011.
