Driver is a huge part of the equation. At the 2009 Twentieth Anniversary Miata World event, the autocross was won by a bone-stock 1st-gen Miata, beating all kinds of modified cars, some highly modified. Know your car.
What do you mean power should be the same? He has 600whp on low boost, I have ~340whp no boost . Also, I'm trying to read some books about racing but some of the concepts are hard to grasp without practice, and I can't just go on the street and do late apex turns

He has r888s I believe.
