GT3 VS Z06

[catchacab]

Electronics do not make the driver fast.  They do make him faster than he would be without them.  We are not talking about a driver getting around well, but rather a driver getting around.  A driver with these aids can get around, while without these aids, he might not make it (I am not writing about all drivers with PSM, many drivers that have PSM drive quite well).  I don’t look down on those who drive the newer cars, drive what you bring.  Bad habits that one can develop that can be to a limited degree corrected by PSM would be lifting in some corners, applying too much throttle, and going in a little too hot into a corner.  The electronic nannies help avoid disaster here.  As the student’s speed picks up, and when 175lbs of ballast is lost, there are times when the nannies can’t reign in the spoiled child.   As a driver who does not use these aids on the track, I don’t feel I am a better driver than one who uses them, but I feel I am getting a better education about driving.

 

When we drive on the road, there are times we may need to suddenly lift or brake in a turn, here we are generally not driving our cars at their limits, but our nannies snatch us up and save us. 

 

The only way to see how PSM may allow a driver to go faster on the track is to take two identical cars, with the exception of one having PSM, while the other does not (Car 1 and 2).  Let drivers A and B drive each one and see what happens as far as lap times etc.

 

I conclude for me, at this time PSM is for the street.
