+2 on what Wedge said... seat time, seat time, seat time.

Congrats on your first run! Your observations are quite accurate.

As you learned, power is nothing without control. At my last HPDE, I was pushing a C6 Z06 through the technical portion of NSS. Once we hit the straights, he never had to give me a point-by because it simply rocketed away with its 505 horsepower...

These little cars love turning. I like the fact that our cars push slightly... much better to learn on than a car with violent snap-oversteer.
