I don't know any of us with the manual TT (I assume you have a manual trans) that didn't have to put alot of practice time into learning how to get the most out of their Z32, be it at the drag strip or road course. Out on the west coast we get to race all year 'round and the really successful drivers PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. Perfect example is WXY (who has run 11.6x with a best 60' time of 1.56...he's put alot of time into being that proficient). I'm sure the road race guys would reinforce the seat time factor in getting better and better times at the track. It's also why a young or inexperienced driver needs to ease into the driving of a high horsepower car on the street. Anyway (God I can ramble), give yourself a break, take some time and look to improve each time you go out to the track. Good luck and enjoy the process Grasshopper, Mark
