Obviously this is a big picture look/statement. But if the car doesn't change and a good driver rips off 5 or 6 seconds faster than you're running... then there is 5 or 6 seconds in your driving that needs "work" if you do nothing to the car. The car might be a total piece of crap -- doesn't matter -- driving IT properly for the way it's set up is worth 5 or 6 seconds.
Sage advice Greg... I'm doing just that this coming Saturday. I'll be a student at the SCCA Solo Starting Line school taught by Evolution Performance driving instructors. I can't wait to see what they can do in my car on the course...then see how much they can teach me about getting more out of it.
