That was going to be my second guess actually.

Seat time.

Theoretical exercise:
Buy a boat-load of bolt-ons and put down the best time you can on any given course. Then, take all the parts off, put the car back to stock, and get a year's worth of seat time on different courses with different conditions.

If you take your bone-stock Z back to the original course after modding only the driver with seat time, you will most likely CRUSH the times you put down with your modded car at the beginning of this.

Seat-time you will destroy bolt-on you.

Find the fast guys at whatever venues you attend. Ride with them. Ask them to ride with you. Practice. Practice. Practice.

It probably won't happen overnight, but at some point, you will know when you are getting up to pace. You can use faster drivers as a benchmark.

Try to focus on you and the car rather than just the particular course you happen to be on. If you can run different courses, even better. You don't want to just become a "track X" expert, and then feel uncomfortable once you find yourself on roads you have not run a thousand times.

One other important thing; There is always someone faster, somewhere.

While you are improving your skillset, and raising your own personal limits, be mindful of those limits. When you encounter someone faster on a track, go ahead and push yourself (If the rules allow), there's runoff there. But when you encounter someone faster on a road, stay within your own limits. You did this well on your last encounter, but it may become more difficult to just "let someone go" after you put so much work into improving your driving.

As you improve, you will encounter fewer and fewer people that are faster....but there will always be some, somewhere.

The guy can't keep up with a RX8 and the solution is to modify the car?
