LOL. But the truth is, whatever we want to tell ourselves, 99% of us will never be able to drive close to level of Mary Pozzi. For the rest of us who just aspire to have fun and continually improve, we can go very far without going to the trouble and expense of radical re-engineering.
I was out at ORP a few years back with the Porsche club in my '71, stock subframe with scanc.com front suspension mods, the aforementioned GW leaf springs, AFCO shocks, Michelin PS Cup tires. My instructor, who was both an excellent driver and long time instructor, was stunned at how well my car worked on that very technical track. It was easily the fastest car in the intermediate class, which was populated mainly with late model 911s, Caymans, and Lotuses. Other drivers kept coming up between sessions, examining the car, asking about mods, etc. I'd have them crawl under the back end to see the big ugly solid axle controlled by nothing but a pair of huge old leaf springs, and they'd just shake their heads in wonder.
