There is no question in my mind there, straight water out performs any antifreeze mix (and it's track friendly if you loose some coolant on the race track). I really don't like the idea of running with folks on the track that use an antifreeze mix, I don't need to be slipping and sliding in their spill!
I know that water has superior heat transfer ability than anti-freeze coolants. I just flushed my water and 1 bottle of water wetter for a 50% solution of green anti-freeze for the anti-corrosive ability. Car runs a bit hotter (now in the normal temp range). I just didnt trust that small bottle of water wetter to provide that kind of metal protection for my engine/radiator. I understand that for track work anti-freeze is prohibited.
