My thought has been to drive the car as-is until I can see that the car is limiting me.
How do you know that the car is limiting you? If you can run the same track/s on a regular basis, with time and coaching, your lap times will drop. Usually, in some big chunks initially. When you start to plateau, that is when you want to start looking at the car's performance.
Once you see that plateau, start reviewing the coaching and the laps that you have already done. What areas seem to keep coming up? Do your coaches comment on braking a lot? If so, maybe you can not feel some of what they are describing because you need bads that give a better feel? Do they talk alot about getting the front tires loaded up more as you turn. Perhaps that's an indication that you need to address some understeer in the car. Whatever the case may be, focus on your skills first, and then you will know when the car becomes the limiting factor.
A better car can make it easier for you to go faster. However, there is far more to learn by you making a lesser car go fast.
Go fast, take chances.
