Observations (and Wish list) after 6 Track Events

Synolimit - you are correct. Think I am flirting with the limp mode. After putting on new NISMO pads and better fluid, brakes have been behaving. Getting new tranny because 4-5 gear shift is hanging up. I didn't get the details from the dealer service guy on why it was happening, just that I was getting a new tranny. I'm really debating now returning the 23 row Oil cooler, paying the extra freight and getting the 34 row instead. My Car stays mostly in the garage. Gets driven a little on nice weather weekends and about once a month at an HPDE event at one of the Texas tracks. I got a thin piece of red tape and put it above the 260 deg mark on the gauge. The last few track events from May through Sept have seen temps at or slightly above 260.

I love driving this car on the track. It sticks great! Just frustrating to have these issues to deal,with. This is the only car I have tracked, but perhaps other cars (Porsches, Vettes, BMWs) have their own issues when tracking them.
