This has nothing to do with Dave's car or the thread in general... but then come to think about it - not much in here actually does...

I vote more DRIVER capable of handling more power..... and a properly set up car that can actually take advantage of the power.

So many videos already on YouTube of the idiots crashing their brand new HellCats and Corvettes...

People learn to drive better with LOW POWER momentum cars... and most could probably put down better laps times with a Miata than they could/can in an 850hp "PT car". They'd actually drive the line carrying some speed, instead of linking a whole bunch of "oh sh!t" moments together. Thinking back to the dude that used to manage the El Toro track, that drove a PRIUS backwards and laid laps times better than most that came with their big time cars. LOL

unbelievable machines

Pantera has 600 ...bird has 750... after driving
the Bird I often wish the Pantera had more

Ran against a 750hp Pantera on the track several
times and how he could pull me down the straights
was like nitrous

I vote more Power

So one minute you advocate going out and just having fun and it's not about being fast and lap times and transponders and bla bla bla..... and then now it's how to scale in and get to be a better driver by starting with a lower power car, hitting the lines, hitting the g-spot, I mean apex, and then adding power and reducing lap times and bla bla bla... (okay I added a little extra in there

)

But still, I didn't know John Kerry (expert flip flopper) joined the forum!
