i couldn't agree with you more. to include such equipment in press cars means that they knew they would need them in that context. to make them available to the press and not to the public is misleading at least, outright deceptive at worst.

there is no shame in bringing an oil cooler to help a high-performance engine, a la bmw 335/135. i am guessing that there is some problem for them in bringing the oil cooler to market, such as crash testing or other certification. otherwise, why not?

as an occasional tracker, track durability is a sine qua non for my next car. i hope this gets addressed very soon.
