I'm assuming by your screen name and reply that you are associated with Callaway so going by that let's part with the hyperbole and gain some facts?
What does a SC652 Z/28 weigh (wet)?
Is it warranted for recreational on track use?
Is it guaranteed to run at 9/10 all day at the track? (30 minute sessions in 100f ambient?)
The press release does not specify it has anything other than stock ceramic brakes, is this correct?
I am so over reading "stick a cam in it!" (or a turbo or a blower) when I know from experience the big HP braggarts are typically the rolling chicanes at the track with the Miatas passing them in the corners.
652 HP is so far beyond what a recreational tracker could ever use it is ludicrous. May as well call it a Callaway Coffin for anyone stupid enough to turn off the traction control. I sure as hell would never right seat a student in one.
Instead of the same old "buy a cam!" BS, people would be far better served (for a lifetime) to invest instead in a multi-day driving school. On a road course, you can't buy skill and lap times, they're earned.
