| 1) Those miatas will crush you on the track. Its not about straight line speed, its power to weight ratio. Their brakes will last a lot longer than yours and they will carry better speed in and out of the corners. There is a reason they are so popular at track days. 2) I'd honestly be surprised if you got out of third gear. This isn't a top speed run, and HPDEs aren't timed. Its about the experience and learning how to drive. Read the article I posted there. A lot of articles about a lot of different things. Probably a solid hours worth of information.

These aren't going to come close to your top speed, that's something for the salt flats. Many places will only hit near 100 on the straights and that's maybe for a second or two tops. 4) Regarding your open track sessions. I looked at your mod list, and its pretty extensive. Imagine how pissed you would be if someone creamed your car going all out. I was very fortunate, only hit a wall and crushed my own car. I DO NOT want to be responsible for paying out someone else's car. The goal is to make it home in one piece.
