That the puts me (autocrossing scca ) in the street mod category which is fine but the car is not nearly as competetive so it snow balls into well Iwill get FI like the other cars to be on an equal footing . This all leads to is this car really capable of doing this or should I just buy another plateform more suited . (By the way the 2012's that come with oil coolers are still stock catagory LOL ) So round and round I go GO FI not suited for track NO FI not great in class . This is all great so glad I read what a great track car this is .I do like the car but it is NOT a great car for the money I should have bought a speed 3 !
Have you actually had oil issues at the autox track? I have a hard time believing that you could overheat the car on most autox tracks, which are about 60-100 seconds long.
