Yes, much more so. Though I don't think stock rides should have a problem. Just get plenty of coolant and keep an eye on your gauge. Of course, your car is Japanese, so that's an advantage to begin with.

I agree, V1p3r, My Korean ride had the needle shoot upto 3/4th of the temp gauge that has never happened before. I had never touched 4000 rpm on the car until that date..

But a slowdown lap just after the session and also an idle time of 10 minutes kept things under control.

Thats when i learnt that even modern cars had their temp gauges workin past the half way mark!

and FYI, my car is in stock form.

This time, i plan to bring a modded vehicle to play with! Ofcourse that does not have a Turbo: LOL
