I agree, however all 4 main points have been made numerous times here on moparts, but seldom all at one time. Case in point, a stock 318 will overpower most drivers here when they start out, and that's what they should start out with. Not sure it sinks in. The reason, it's a lot easier on the ego to rationalize your lack of track performance standing on lack of money spent on your part, then your limited driving driving talent/experience. Reminds me of the latest mega checkbook cars in the latest HR magazine, little mentioned of how they actually handle, but boy, that's a lot money spent and they have neat looking options.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Your comment reminds of a guy that worked for me occasionally over the past decade. He was above average, had a certain amount of charisma. Tough as nails. The downside was he had a tough upbringing, got involved with drugs, made a number of bad choices, hung out with the wrong people, and went to prison, all before I met him. As most now know well, your future is severely cramped for the rest of your life once a felon. I gave him a chance. Prison taught him quite a bit I suspect. He was the best in spotting a scam or BS. It was amazing. However, he was really bad sadly, at spotting the truth. We have felt it best a number of years ago if we went our separate directions. I wish him luck. Internet, its also really hard to spot the truth from the rest, IMO.
