There isn't this walking around the paddock snickering at peoples cars like some little High school popularity contest. You are either FAST or you are NOT. At the Race track, a car is only as good as its driver and what he has put into it. If that wasn't the case, then I wouldn't be passing Z06 corvettes, New Mustang GT's, S2k's, Turbo Miatas, Built Integra Type R's......with my STOCK HP Scion tC.

OK. Maybe some progress can be made here.
Is the Z06 Vette a better track weapon than a modified tC? (I'm assuming you're running a close to stock motor now, but a well-put together and tuned suspension/brake package, from what you have implied.)
You are saying that driving makes up the difference. No one will dispute that. But you are using your superior driving skill as support that the tC is a better car.
That is ridiculous.
You beat a shitty driver in an epic car with your tC. That doesn't mean that the tC is anywhere NEAR the performance of a Z06. You know this. We all know this.
You are the
much better driver. Get in that Z06 and run some laps. Compare to your tC laps. What's going to be the result?
You are a good driver,
despite your car. And probably a good suspension/alignment setup guy too. Not taking that away from you at all. But seriously, you could probably be doing the same thing in a Camry or Matrix.
