I've noticed on the track, nicer cars are slower, except on the straights, there's a reason for that, you don't want to mess it up, the beatup track cars are usually the fastest. I've seen Z06's, letting guys pass all the time, the driver is very skilled, he's an instructor but taking it easy. When he's out with his spec porsche 944, that's when he goes all out. Sunday is my next track day, can't wait.
B4TM4N, you are brave, I would take it easy on the rain and wet conditions, don't want to scratch and run off the track in the wet. ESP works great, can't say the same as some of your competitors, put it in dyno mode and it'll be tail happy like the rest of the cars on the track, it's great to hear you are having fun. SLK is not a good drift car, too much gadgets, no LSD, drifting is punishment to the car, I would get an old beatup car to hear how the drift.
