this is all good fun and I know you realize your car has more to offer... next time out I suggest getting your instructor to drive YOUR car so you can see what you are leaving on the table... a real "apples to apples" comparison
still nothng like a well driven GT3
That's great advice. I use this as a bench mark all the time when I do trackdays. I was really impressed with what my last instructor could do with my car. My real wake up call was when he took me out in his GT2. Everything about that car was ferocious. He kept complaining about the GT3 drivers thinking they didn't have to let people pass...It was insane.

It's not just the GT3 drivers. It's typically the (low talent) driver of the higher hp car that feels that if they let you by you'll hold them up and he won't be able to mash the go fast pedal on the straight. Really frustrating.

If I can find a rollbar and have it installed by then I might possibly make it. I'm searching for used ones, if I don't have any luck I'll just order one directly from DAS. Otherwise I'll wait until the next event at CMP. Then I'd certainly like to take you up on the offer!
