It was able to handle full back to back sessions. I think the cold air intake helps also.

My concern is for owners that live in hot & humid climates and frequently get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic when commuting.

This would be me. May through September it can be 90+ degrees with 90+ humidity. I predict in bumper to bumper traffic it breaks 280......... this will not be a "track only" issue IMO.
