It's competitive, because the cars are virtually identical! It is, IMO, the optimal place for a beginner to start, because you 100% know that your car can do what the front runner's cars can do!
This thread is why I'm worried about the ATF temps. I don't want to damage my auto transmission as this is my daily driver. I'm hoping to get 100-200k miles out of this car as a daily and 1x/month track car.

Is there any data for ATF temps running stock coolers under load (track days). @Sithspawn posted his temps from some of his runs, and pre-cooler he was getting quite hot. Your take on this?
