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).

Well I can assure you my first event yesterday was an eye opener. I can also assure you that the totem pole was built on me haha. I haven't notched my way on to the bottom of the pole yet lol. The one thing I kept thinking as I grew more and more balls during the event was with coilovers and wheels I could hit these corners so much faster. It was terrifying increasing my speeds through the turns each time due to the fact there was pools of water on everyside of the track(It was a police training track with ditches all over). But I can say with confidence I earned the name "tokyo drift" that day because I was sliding around every corner not because I tried to but because I had prius tires lol.
