I instruct at the Chicago Region PDX program, and I know *I* would! I am still learning some finer points of the car but so far I love it in the 4 track days I have done.
My latest "aha" moment came when I was understeering a bit (Whiteline front sway, stock rear) in steady state corners. Normally it would mean too much speed, or too much steering angle, and I tried both with limited success. So I tried to give more throttle and it worked! Basically I think you are using the on power oversteer that is inherent in the car to balance out the off throttle understeer?
Still have stock suspension underneath, and this may all change when I go to a square setup and put SPL arms on the car, but it was rather enlightening to me using power in the car...quite a change from a 125 hp Spec Miata!!!
