What really surprises me however, is how slow a lot of the Ferrari's that run out there...even the guy with the F40 seemed kinda slow. (Of course the guy won Lemans decades ago) the hottest cars last year believe it or not was some guy from Arvada with a blown SS LS1. That guy tore apart my Z06 hands down!

Not sure about the ACR Viper, but most of the Vipers I've seen at SCR just can't keep the brakes or engine cool enough to do more than half a dozen or so consecutive all-out laps.
The S2000, on the other had, can seemingly go round-and-round all day... or at least until the gas tank runs dry!
Now on a HP track with longer straights (Pueblo comes to mind), game over for the S2K vs. a Viper, even with a blower!

He is (was) *very* fast with the blown S2000...

I don't know it the temp will be that hot, the aftercooler will help a bit. If I keep the key on the the on position the coolant keeps flowing through the system. But the only way to be sure is to take it to the track on a hot day.
I usaully don't push the car hard till I get more comfertable with it. So I don't think that I will be doing any 360's but who knows?
I actualy like road racing better then drag, but both are fun and I would like to see how much faster the car is on the 1/4 mile. And I think that I can run below 1:20 at SCR
