Put the car on a track and it's another ballgame. Factor in more grip through tires, suspension, aero, brake pads, etc. and all of a sudden the typical driver won't be able to get the most out of the car, including the braking system. In fact, they likely wouldn't be able to get it into the optimal temperature range.
I don't think you guys read my post.

How (or where) the individual might drive the vehicle after installing this, his or her experience level, other mods or if other cooling systems are more effective is not really relevant, is it?

I could let Fernando Alonso (or my mother) make 10 stops from 60 to 5 mph and the results wouldn't really be different, would they?

I'm sure Counter Space Garage can sell you a more expensive (pro-driver ) solution that is more effective, but that's besides the point.
