Edit: Plus, I've heard similar stories. I know a guy who tracks his Z, and when he first went out with an instructor, he let the guy drive, and he said he was amazed at how fast they were taking turns. Realistically, even if I'm slow or only pulling .5G or whatever (and who knows?), I enjoy the rate at which I take corners, and the vehicle can safely achieve it, so why do I need to go any faster until I'm ready to track?
don't know how you took my post, hard to tell over the net, but what I mean is that as much fun as we are having in our cars--370z or z06 or whatever, we are most likely very far from their potential in the twisties. Fun is what counts, but pushing a car with 50/50 dost in a corner on the street is risky if you go much past 70%.
