My point wasn't that a noob in a fast car would not be faster than a noob in a slow car. My point was/is that a noob will pick up more time from seat-time than car parts.

Anyone with zero track time that watches Mike in his BSP car and thinks "if i had all those parts, i would get those times" is wrong.

I know that using my wife's keybord will not make me able to type at her speed. I might hunt and peck a little faster from using better equipment, but no keyboard will get me up to her speed.

She's faster than me because she knows how to type and I don't.

I have seen a few noobs run out and buy race tires after their first event. They may pick up a couple seconds, but they were 5-10 seconds off the pace to begin with and tbey still cant get in the same zip code as veteran drivers on race tires. By the time they burn up that set of race tires their race-tire times *might* get close to veterans on street tires. -if they manage to correct the bad inputs that the race tires cover up.
