All about the driver. I used to do HPDE in a 1990 Miata, only brake, suspension, safety mods. I consistently got point-bys from guys in much higher HP cars that didn't know what they were doing.

Use your left foot and your right hand and downshift a few gears. Look at traffic and hammer it up the onramp, that's what it's there for. To up to speed.
