That's cornering over 1 g, running brakes that will rip your face off, and accelerating with enough power to trash a stock transmission every 5 race days.

Until somebody actually reports oil starvation induced by acceleration/deceleration/cornering that can't be attributed to anything else, I will continue to maintain that the stock baffling is just fine, and needs no improvement.

Isn't the entire point of this thread that Element is experiencing oil starvation? That's what I got from the title (which has the word starvation in it) and the first few pages of posts.

Also, do you really need to keep shitting on people for just trying to avoid problems? Surely its better to try and be pro-active and get baffled sumps to try help avoid starvation issues, rather than just assuming oh yeah the stock oil pan on this low powered slippery car will be fine when I stick loads of power and really grippy tyres on it.
