No, they may reduce your lap times, but they do not make for a better driver, they just help you brag about how fast you are.

I also participate in many of these forums and my experience is Jad's remarks are right on the norm for this kind of post. When people ask how to make their cars faster, it is very common for someone to reply "Work on the loose nut behind the wheel."I also belong to many boards, which is where information is shared about some really trick mods or car setups in suspension. This is no longer reserved for the specialty shop in a dark garage. The world wide web has opened this up. I find this posters question to be the norm these days.

Heck, we all need driving lessons not seat time, so nothing earth shattering there!

A look "outside the box" finds some irony in this thread: We have a former CDI encouraging more learning and driver education, and a supplier encouraging an emphasis on possible car needs. Should it be any different? I don't say this to be cruel to either Jad or Kary, but I see a subconcious influence in both their arguments.
Just my 2-cents.
See you on the 18th.

What exactly do you disagree with in this list and who would not be helped following that strategy? If I want to learn threshold braking I would watch and learn the technique, practice it, see how well the car does it and upgrade appropriately if needed.
How is that an attack on you? Is it because you have upgrades therefore you think I am saying you can't drive? Ummm I have after ~7 years upgraded as well in case you haven't noticed but I wouldn't recommend going from karts and a Yamaha to Mike Avitts 928 if you expect to learn to drive well? As I recall, you started with a stock car and learned and got addicted from there. The car is the last upgrade after you know what you can do and what the car does and doesn't do.
