Real road experience has convinced me over the past 2,000 miles.

Majority of driving is daily so I don't know how this contends with the track users, but I am happy with it.
Gear 300 is good for the tranny especially when you're putting a lot of heat into the system. When oil breaks down, it becomes harder to get into gear. While Gear 300 doesn't have issues with heat, it sometimes feels a little notchy when it is cold. You'll notice there are always some compromise. OEM fill usually feels the best in the cold, but also begins to suffer in high temps.

Gear 300 LS works better for track related use for the additional frictional modifiers. It just feels different. It's not something most people will notice on their everyday drive.
