I wouldnt use it on a daily driver. My car is a track only car the only time it isnt at wide open throttle is when its pulling on the trailor, pulling off the trailor, going to the staging lane and on the return road.

The VR-1 oil is good stuff. After 5 years of track abuse you could still see all the hone marks.
