Guys in Little Miatas that have to spool up the engines to keep up with much faster cars normally have better lines, keep the car securely planted on the ground and know how to drive better than guys with fast cars.

I see it all the time. A dam Miata on everyones *** because the guy can drive. And then a guy in a GTR who holds everyone up in the chicanes and S's and then stomps on it in the straight away.

Learn to drive and about the car characteristics.
My instructor at Sebring DESTROYS 911's, ZO6's, M's, AMG's, Astons in my 370. Its 98% driver. Well in this case its 100%

You let your instructor drive your car? I don't think I would be ok with that. There is nothing like track time to teach you can't buy being fast around the track.
