Many drivers with lots of power and traction tend to rely on the engine to make up for poor apex speed because they simply don't know they're giving up so much because they're still faster than all the other lower hp cars out there.
Additionally, I'd be keen to know what other fluids they might have been running w/ that SuperBlue. Some of those fluids are not compatible and result in that goop you're describing.

What he said... I am pretty sure I told Scott the sooner, lighter, smoother stuff a few years back.
It sounds more like a chemical reaction than fluid failure. I have seen a lot of overheated fluid and never seen anything other than dirty liquid.
