PSS's aren't optimal for best times, but still can be driven on fairly effectively, if you know what you're doing.

Don't see the same for many turbo cars on the track, such as 997 porsches, which do see limp mode issues.
don't agree with the last part at all, plenty of people track Pcar turbos down here in texas as well as myself, and temps were ROCK solid with zero issues. that thing is a monster, and has great OEM brakes.

that said, the m3 is a blast on the track and IMO more manageable and fun. I too hope the next gen m3 is robust enough for the track, and has better brakes that are easier to swap pads in and out of.
