Exactly. Compared to my other track cars I had driven at the time: cortina, 240 z, honda wagon, corolla etc. It just took me a while to figure out why it wasn't accelerating particularly well between turns 11 and 1. It is still a lot better than spinning I to a wall or suchlike. I had an amusing ride one day when a student ( chp officer as a matter of fact ) in a mustang applied too much power coming out of turn 2 and spun into the dirt. Before I could explai to him the advantages of getti g the dirt off of his sticky tires before resuming his enthusiastic driving, he spun the car inturn 4.
