I know what you're saying about lifting an inside front wheel with a rear drive car, but it takes a lot of grip to do it along with good speed. A good deal more of each in fact than what the OP is ever likely to achieve given a basically stock car. You're absolutely right about the speed part. Most racers are familiar with the truism that slow in, fast out beats fast in, slow out every time. Knowing it dosen't make easy. I know that when I need a few extra tenths I am still tempted to brake even later and harder and then I wind up coming in too hot and plowing down a few cones. Oh what the h$%^, if it was easy it wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
