Most people I talk to say the SC is good for about 2 seconds on a 2.5 mile track.

That makes no sense to me based on the S65's linear power curve. I've got a few friends that track their SC M3 and I've been in the car with them and they have no problem throttling through the turns. I can see this argument a bit more if talking about a Vette with all it's torque...
