Not only the fastest times ever ran, but within hundredths of a second of each other. It was cool either. The temps were in the 70's-80's that day. Now if your hotlapping in 100 plus degree weather, your asking for something to break.
cant tell you whether the oem h/e was defective or not. all i can tell you is since the replacement of the h/e with a supercooler any s/c issues have disappeared and the car is a monster.
