I want to develop my driving skills. Power is NOT where its at with me, its driving SKILL. Anyone with half reasonable driving skill can probably propel a very fast car around the ring in a better time than me due to teh fast sections it has over its near 15mile circuit but I would MUCH rather get a good time by being able to drive properly.
I drive fast cars all day every day. I dont need one to get a buzz as most people do. For me its a personal battle with only myself.
i would say that 9:21 is nowhere near the limt of the car (but it depends on traffic). i would stick with what you know and concentrate more on learning the lines/car/driving technique.
too much power will of course immediately get you a quicker time, but to what end? no point imo, and could lead to trouble and definately expense
