[QUOTE="David Hester, post: 13446730, member: 6794"] ^ ah, there's the rub. First off I'm just a club racer, but I've been doing it for a bunch of years. I probably did my 50th SCCA competition race back 12-13 years ago. I started time trials in 1994, and road racing about 10 years ago. Let's look. [I]2011[/I] BARBER GS 1 Foster / Maxwell Multimatic Motorsports / Mustang Boss 302R [B]1:36.906 [/B]85.443 [I]2013[/I] BARBER GS Atterbury, J Blackstock, S Roush Performance Mustang Boss 302R GT [B]1:36.627[/B] Lot of money to go 3/10ths faster in a Mustang... Unless I was a pro making money, I'm thinking I'd spend my bucks on track time. ;-) When I was doing my SCCA comp school years ago, my instructor raced (still does) TransAM. He followed me and would fill my mirrors on both sides. Told me later he was trying to show me how much track I was not using and therefore, not driving to the car's potential. If you aren't using ALL the asphalt and then some, you aren't driving what your car can do. He convinced me I could (and did-a few times) flatfoot down the hill at VIR into 17. Now go back and look at the video. Are you using all the track? [/QUOTE]
