[s-cars] wrt pushing RS2 to the edge...

[Bruce Mendel]

Can't speak technically, but I ran the snot out of that setup at the track
for about 25 days last summer prior to water injection, and while I noticed
heat soak and lower boost as car got hotter, I never had any engine related
problems. Ran like a champ. and drove home from every event.

p.s. Sandy, I put 100 octane in her at all track events prior to water
injection, I swear. :)
