Right!! Bearings were probably much hotter! Didn't consider that part as well.
I should have kept that
oil and sent it for analysis to see what they would have said about it.
I'm not going all out in the edge of traction in my cobra either, I've gotten it up to about 1.2g lateral - might go a little more next year.
I rented a miata (gasp) and ran it at limerock 2 weeks ago. Zero acceleration, but that could make turns, read nearly 1.5g on a few turns. And it wasn't as scary as the big block cobra - but that's part of the fun of the cobra too!
