For sure. Usually those cars come with a ton of spare parts, special tools and data. The oil is usually circulated through a machine prior to start up in order to bring it up to temp befor the car is even fired.

thats why i've never been wow'ed beyond 'wow thats cool' with street cars, ANY STREET CAR weather its some modified 'anything' or the newest 'anything'. because i know that there will these machines in existence with such near sci-fi specifications that will shatter your brains imagination way past anything you could have ever imagined. an F1's engine bearing clearances are such that do require exact oil viscosity and nothing higher nor lower past its set tolerance or it is complete chaos. the whole pneumatic valve-train system i mean c'mon man 8 10 or 12 pistons flying at the same speed above 18,000rpm's what street car can compare?

one should never fall in love with any street car for any reason, there's always one better/more capable. they are all replaceable, i rock em n flip em, to either get one better or equal in a different color. a street car will definitely break your heart if you let it.
