I thought about that too. Thanks everyone for your input.

Ever heard of MADD?

Well I've started my own organization: DADM

How is releasing going to relieve heat buildup?

That's because the s2000 coefficient of drag is so awful

and here goes a bit of trivia: do you know how much deceleration you get if you lift the foot off the throttle on an F1 going at 300km/h?

answer: about the same as you if slam the brakes on an S2000. That's what I call "a very quick loss of speed when lifting off the accelerator"...

Woo hoo! A thread I actually know something about!

1) You don't have any additional pressure when you release and re-apply.
