So is everyone else here.

Just because one has a high HP car doesn’t automatically make him a bad drover or not a momentum driver. It’s all relative at the end of the day. And it certainly doesn’t mean he has to go out of his way to purchase an old car to learn how to drive. Not taking Larry’s side here, but he drove well the day I instructed him.

With that said I think it’s Larry’s constant quest to improve his already capable car that makes him an easy target, and I do admit, makes this thread entertaining to read. It’s like a beginner golfer trying to change equipment every time something doesn’t go well. Most of the time it will only mask bad habits. Nothing wrong with improving your car. But like many here have said, try to focus on seat time and driving skills above all else.
