Even with those mods I was just trailing 4seconds on a minute course at my first event bone stock when 3 out of the 4 have dozens of event done. All I could think was with sticker tires and maybe coilovers (obviously not a good driver but learning hahA) I could cut my time by atleast 2 seconds. This event made me event made me realize all the people rushing turbos maybe doing it in the wrong order.

It takes time to develop a balanced setup for boost. When I boosted my S2000, I actually had a little difficulty besting my old times on track on the first 2 track days. The only thing I could do was get more consistent, but the times weren't dropping. I have heard other people taking as long as 6-7 track days to finally break through that barrier and learn to drive with power. It is simply redeveloping your driving style. We encourage everybody to go to the track to just have fun with their cars. It's the #1 eye opening experience and simply put, gives you an idea of where you sit on the driver's totem pole.
Some interesting points, the Evasive FRS (r-comp) and Crawford BRZ did a 1:59 (slick) at Buttonwillow in the winter of 2012. Our CSG BRZ had stock power + coilovers did 2:01 (2:00 with R-comp prototype test day).
