i could see it on a race car, where you're stretching the cars to the absolute limit constantly, and only on a track, but i've _rarely_ seen this used on track cars.
water cooling on a street car is generally just a bandage for doing it the right way.

Of course the question stands then, what if you don't have a intercooler to begin with? Or can't fit a bigger one in?
The reason you don't see it on track cars mainly, is there is the threat that the tank might go dry, and it really isn't trusted by alot of people yet. For my CRX, it is helping wonders to cool down the intake charge from the supercharger. The car is both a streat car, and a "race" (high speed events down with the porshe club, road races and autocrosses) and it works great for me. I think you will be seeing more and more of this as time goes on.
