I'm sure Callaway will do it right, but FI for the track isn't desirable b/c of heat soak issues.

Anyone who has spent a lot of time on track will always choose n/a over FI given the choice. One of the reasons I'm not interested in the Z06 is Chebbie's migration to FI. IMO, a crappy development for the vette guys who track.

Yeah, we'll see the death of n/a motors in performance cars down the road. It is happening now, with worldwide emissions tightening. For example, both Porsche and Ferrari are migrating to forced induction for their next generations. Sucks.
