I have read quite a bit about this on other platforms, but I trust you four on this platform as gospel truth. Thanks for all the input. I'm going to get some driving time in on several different cars: Miata, Cooper S, Integra Type-R, Impreza 2.5RS, and a few others. After that, if I can't pull myself away from the contour for a more traditional (and cheaper/easier/faster) racer, I'm picking up a new DD (SVT, I think), and the modding begins. Yeah, I plan on racing a regular car and DDing the SVT: they are way too nice to tear up. I'd feel bad pulling out nice leather rear seats, wouldn't you?
eh, oh well. No matter what car I decide to dedicate to track use, I'll probably do the same thing I do every damn time I get some mod money and time together: go spend it on track time, because that, so far, has been way better at making me go fast. I keep thinking about tuning and tweaking, and then realize I need to tighten the nut behind the wheel. Anyway, thanks for all the input. I went for a street drive and really tested the brakes to the limits. My driving was indeed 99% of the problem when a corner wasn't perfect. But quite a few were damned perfect... I'm still grinning - even at 7/10th at legal speeds, there are some corners that are fun as hell, and that's why I'm in this game.
