To be fair, I also think it's foolish to say someone is more skilled than someone just because they haven't gone on a track by waving about the

'i've gone on a track' card.

On a track, do you not go into corners, balance the throttle and exit as quickly and as smoothly as you can or am I missing some other exciting and more challenging points here?

I have karted a fair few times and this as many will agree, is just a scaled down version of track racing and requires different input than the tubby.

.mainly because you dont have an engine behind you trying to put you in a ditch if you get it wrong

You have other drivers which you have to monitor their driving style and improvise on your racing lines to get around making snap decisions.

This combined with a fair few years of experience with many RWD cars and especially the tubby, gives me great overall experience of how sports cars handle and where the limits are.

I have dragged many times also, which some people will blindly say doesn't require good driver input/skill, but to get consistent 60ft times with great clutch control doesn't come easy.

I posted my slip a while back with a standard tubby with just an MBC at 15psi as my only mod, running a very respectable 13.6.

At the time, some experienced guys from here and the OC who had more power had to take their hats off.

Anyway, I realise that dragging doesn't have a patch on cornering ability and overall driver skill, but it still does require a lot of responsive driver input.

Also, i've never come here and said i'm a driving god and more experienced than loads of guys who have tracked.

It may have come across that way or my posts been twisted slightly.

I realise i'm nowhere near the best driver out there, but for idiots like Matt who have never even driven cars he repeatedly comes on here to boast about

(i.e.

M3) and claim they're far superior to the tubby by posting manufacturer 0-60 times plastered across the net, p1$$e$ me off.

I have driven M3s and plenty of other highly regarded performance cars, prestige and japanese so actually CAN speak my mind about the levels of performance and I can honestly say that the MR2 is not as far behind an M3 as what a lot would make out and with a few little tweaks here and there

£500, can be every bit as, if not faster than one.

Yes I have made some silly posts in the past in rage and said daft stuff, who hasn't?

If you were to spend hours making immaculate posts, where would the forum be without daft little arguements?
