It was a novel idea but it never took off. If the current system isn't broke don't fix it

Actually it's pretty huge in motocross, European motorcycle racing, and other forms of powersports applications. We began using it in our Lightning Sprint ('06 GSXR 1000). The first race we had it in, we ran 20 laps wide open, banging off the rev limiter at the end of the straight without ever lifting, and the motor ran about 7 degrees cooler than it did during a normal race with regular coolant & water. The boiling point is around 100 degrees higher than water, so you're really never going to get into an over-heating situation linked to your cooling system. It's non-corrosive and easier on internal parts as well. That's one system in the car we can forget about and not worry with anymore, which is awesome.
