    Man no doubt! They say in NASCAR the car's interior gets well in excess of 150 degrees F with the floor and seat temprature hot enough to boil water-and they at least have an open window(s) (drivers side only at tracks larger than 1 mile).

    In Lemans and Grand AM the front engine GT cars (especialy the Corvette's) get extremely hot inside as well

    I don't know how they do it, to be honest with you. I don't even want to go outside when its hotter than 90 degress F no less cram myself into a rollin equivalent of an oven!

    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
